Lead
Minister
Die-hard
KU fan and father of two is only the beginning of
Lead Minister, Jason Whyte. Jason joined the staff
at Central in August of 2008. He and his wife,
Heidi, have two kids, Karsten and Chloe. Among many
things that they enjoy doing together are hunting,
fishing, walking and just hanging out as a family.
Jason has a God-given ability to lead and bring
people together in unity for one reason: to honor
God. Jason and Heidi have the desire to see people
come to know Jesus Christ and lead by example in
the joy you can have in developing a relationship
with God.

Peter
Smith
Coffee-roasting,
bean-grinding, book-loving, some may even say the
brains of the operation is only the start of Pete
Smith. Pete joined the Central staff as the
Involvement and Discipleship Minister in July of
2003. Pete, having a servant’s heart, can usually
be found doing much more than his pastoral duties.
He is a guy who has no problem going that extra
mile. Pete and his wife, Lisa have a passion for
seeing people develop Godly relationships. They
have four children: Noah, Asher, Brielle and
Judson.
The
walking sports almanac, most definitely the sane
Kretzinger of the two and former Spoofhound, Sarah,
is the heart of the pastoral team. After graduating
from Ozark Christian College in 2005 and continuing
her education with an internship at Castle Hills
Christian Church, Sarah came to Central as the
Children's Minister in September of 2005. Her and
her husband, Adam, both have a heart for children
and love to help them as they grow closer to
God.

Rick
began working in student ministries while attending
Ozark Christian College in 1999. He graduated in
2002 and started working in the full-time ministry
a year later. Rick has been married to Anna, (who
turned him down for over 6 months), for 5 years
now. They have two boys: Luke and Levi. They plan
to have as many kids as it takes to get a girl.
While most men have dreams of driving a sports car,
Rick’s dream is to restore and drive a 1965,
21-window, Volkswagen Samba. However, until then,
he currently settles for driving a
blue-smoke-blowing 1988 Mazda pick-up.
