Stephen and Allison Fanning moved from Oklahoma to Bozeman in 2013 so that he could attend Montana Bible College. He graduated in the spring of 2019 and was called to pastor WCC November 17th of that year.  After 11 miscarriages, Stephen and Allison were blessed with a baby boy—James (born July 2022).  Stephen also serves on the Wilsall Volunteer Fire Department and Allison is a professional photographer.

Jim and Corinne George were married in 1992.  Jim attended Montana Institute of the Bible, and Corinne went to Frontier School of the Bible in Wyoming.  They have three married daughters, a son, and three grandsons. Jim has spent his life in the logging profession and has served on the church board for twenty years.

Andy grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, but he moved to the Shields Valley right out of college with six of his closest friends to pursue his dreams of ranching in Montana! He met and married Carolyn (the rancher’s daughter next door) whose family has been ranching in the Shields Valley since they homesteaded in 1902. They have three beautiful daughters whom Carolyn homeschooled, two of which have recently decided to leave the nest and get married within 61 and a half days of each other!!! These “boys”, who have become more than friends, are pretty special men in their lives.

I have had the privilege of being raised in the Shields Valley in a Christian home and have been involved in ranching my entire life. Wilsall Community Church and it’s ministries has impacted me greatly.  I married Janet (Stutterheim) and we have 3 adult children and 10 grandchildren.  When not doing ranch related jobs, I enjoy traveling – primarily to visit kids/grandkids, (sightseeing) and being able to enjoy most everything outdoors.  The book of the Bible I cherish most is the Psalm.

Rod has been ranching in Wilsall all his life. He met Glenda at Montana State University in 1970, and they were married in 1972. They have one son and a granddaughter. Rod and Glenda spend the winter ministering with the Sowers Ministry, working on projects for Christian ministries all over the south west. He has faithfully served on the board at WCC for many years and  is a huge blessing to the body here!

Zach grew up in the Shields Valley and met his wife, Bridget, while attending Montana Tech where he received a degree in Mechanical Engineering.  They were married in 2007 and spent the next 9 years in Iowa where their son Greyson was born. In 2016 they moved back to Montana for Zach to  continue his career in engineering.  Bridget received a degree from WIU in exercise science and is currently homeschooling Greyson.
