Don Robins
Senior Pastor
email Don 		I became a follower of Christ in 1953 when my Mom led me to Jesus Christ.

Harvest has been my church home since Easter, 2000.

I am the senior pastor of the church and a biblical counselor.

My community service is as the Police Chaplain for the Oak Creek Police Department.

My wife and I lead a Home Group in Racine where we live.

Janice and I have been married since January 1, 1972. We are parents to 3 adult daughters, 3 sons-in-law, and a grandson, Gabe.

I am an avid reader and author.

I hear God best in the quiet of the night when others sleep.

Keith Barger
Worship & Arts Pastor
email Keith 		Principal responsibilities include worship leader, arranger, visionary, vocal coach, band director, ordering/writing/charting music, recruiting and training team members, weekly rehearsals, administration of the whole Harvest arts program.

Undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University. Also studied at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Regina and I were blown here from America’s breadbasket and the Air Capitol of the U.S., Wichita, KS. God blessed us with the birth of our daughter, Amelia, in Sept '06. We're loving every moment with her and can't wait to see what God does with this little life.

God continues to use us and change us into more mature followers. It's not always an easy journey. But the most difficult path often leads to the most rewarding destination.

Laurie Hendrickson
Small Groups Minister
email Laurie 		Coming from a 13 year career in direct sales, training and marketing, Laurie has been a part of the Harvest ministry team since 1997. She currently serves as Small Groups Minister, supporting the “front line” ministries of greeters, welcome center and Harvest Central volunteers, as well as providing support and training for small group leaders.

Originally from the Milwaukee area, Laurie committed her life to Christ at 16. She now lives in Muskego with Gary, her husband of 28 years. Together, they share a passion for the local church and seeing God at work through transformed lives. She has been involved in leading women’s small groups as well as training small group leaders. “Spare time? I love to entertain at home and get out on the back of a motorcycle with my husband!” But her real passion is connecting others to small groups, classes and serving opportunities within the church where they can grow in their relationship with Christ and use their God-given gifts.
Motto: “Let’s do coffee!”
