FBC Leadership

Elders

Mike Phay

 Mike Phay was transplanted into the fertile Central Oregon soil prior to his first birthday. In the 2nd grade, he met his future bride, Keri, and promptly fell in love. They got married about 15 years later and hit the road for a 10-year adventure before returning to Prineville in 2007, and being called to the Lead role at FBC in 2017. Pastoral ministry, along with raising 5 kids (Emma, Caleb, Halle, Maggie, and Daisy), takes up the majority of his time and energy. However, Mike loves coffee dates with Keri, wrestling matches with his little girls, deep talks with his big kids, reading, writing, learning anything, tending bees, and riding his bike.

Joe Stenkamp

Joe Stenkamp was born in Redmond and grew up in Bend, moving away at the age of 12. He served a 22-year career as an officer in the US Army and a second career working in several defense-related companies. After his second retirement in 2017, he and his wife Sharon decided to move back to Central Oregon. Since coming to FBC, they have been involved in several ministries, most notably the Food Pantry, the Safety Team, and Home Community Groups. They have 5 children and 5 grandchildren, spread from Vancouver, WA to the island of St Kitts. Most evenings they can be found out on their deck, looking for meteors and listening for coyotes.
