Rick has been a pastor at Stockham Community Church since 2015.  A native of the area, Rick worked in the business sector for six years prior to entering full-time vocational ministry.  Rick earned his Masters in Theological Studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Rick and his wife, Alyssa, have three children. 

Rick's desire for SCC is that it would be a community of believers who give their lives away for the gospel while walking deeply with each other for the glory of Jesus.

Zach joined Stockham Community Church in March of 2026. Born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, Zach headed off a full 30 minutes away from home to go to college at College of the Ozarks and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Biblical and Theological Studies and a minor in Psychology (which is just enough psychology to be dangerous). While at CofO, he met and eventually married his amazing and gorgeous wife Hannah (she will be embarrassed I said that in my bio). Afterward, Zach travelled a full 3 hours away from home to go to Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City where he earned his Masters of Divinity. After graduation, Zach headed back home to Springfield where he worked as the youth pastor at Hamlin Baptist Church for 2½ years, during which Hannah would give birth to their first child: Matthias(Matty) Manes. Zach, Hannah and Matthias have now found themselves here in Nebraska at SCC, and found out that they are pregnant with their second child.
