WILLIAM FERRY Men's Ministry Leader I’m the Men’s Ministry Leader here at Cedarbrook. I’m married to Joelle, and together we have four amazing kids—Kevin, Emily, Faith, and Derek. When I’m not with the guys or my family, you can usually find me recharging on a dog walk with an audiobook, catching some serenity on the mountain bike trails, or getting humbled every time I lose at pickleball! A fun fact about me: I’m a lifelong learner. I read one Proverb a day—31 days, 31 Proverbs. It’s my daily dose of wisdom. I’ve been blessed with a 20+ year career that’s shaped a lot of who I am professionally. I’m currently a sales executive with Harvey W. Hottel in Gaithersburg, where we provide commercial HVAC, mechanical, and plumbing services. My favorite treat? Easy—chips and salsa. And honestly, one of the things I love most about what I get to do is our daily 5:45am IronMen Leadership Prayer call. It keeps us grounded, connected, and constantly amazed by the grace of God.

This change in our hearts goes way beyond what our willpower and good intentions can accomplish. But, it is also not something that God will do in us without our involvement. Each month we will provide video and print resources that look at a spiritual practice, experience, or relationship that can ground us in a lifestyle of openness to God and the work he is doing in us.

JOHN GIST Worship Pastor I’m the Worship Pastor here at Cedarbrook, and I’ve had the joy of serving in this role for the past 15 years. My wife, Sherra, and I have a full, lively house with five amazing kids— Ivey (17), Halle (15), Misha (8), Ollie (3), and Neva (1). Life is never boring, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. When I’m not leading worship, you’ll probably find me playing music (yes, I know it’s technically my job too), out on the golf course, experimenting in the kitchen, or just spending time with family and friends. And if you ever need a laugh, just ask me about the time I played Buddy the Elf in a musical/ballet. Don’t worry—there was no actual ballet involved, though I might have busted out the Running Man. I have a BS in Kinesiology from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and I’ve been serving in ministry and pastoral leadership for 25 years. My favorite treat is sushi, but my favorite part of this job has nothing to do with food. It’s getting to be part of a team that’s passionate about lifting up the name of Jesus, and being in a room filled with our church family, all singing the same words and melody, is something I’ll never stop being in awe of. john@cedarbrook.org
