Christ church elders

Elders lead the church by teaching and preaching, by protecting the church and it's doctrine, by praying with and for the church, by caring for the needs of the people in the church, and by sending the people of the church into the world as Jesus has sent us. 


Our current Christ Church elders are:


Adam Wagenknecht - After graduating from Truman State University, Adam took a job at Boeing in St. Louis. Within a few weeks he found Christ Church and has been invested in the life of CC ever since.

When he's not spending free time with his family, you will find him connecting with others in the community, fooding, doing house projects, running his three dogs, or searching for new real estate opportunities.

Wayne Polette - Wayne is a retired paramedic/firefighter who is married to Chris, father to Mel and Molly, and 'Pops' to Max, Emmett, Simon, Cora, and Samantha.
