Ryan Jingst

Ryan grew up in Northwest Montana near Glacier National Park. After studying business management one year at Pensacola Christian College in Florida, Ryan switched his major to youth ministry and transferred to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago Illinois. It was at MBI that Ryan met Jody, his wife since June 2001. Jody also graduated with a degree in youth ministry. Jody grew up in a small farming community in Northwest Illinois. Jody spent two different years with her family on the mission field in Africa. They have three children: Elijah, Lydia, and Celia. Ryan and Jody both have a desire to build meaningful relationships with students, and to use that basis as a platform to show them Christ’s love.

Nate Lehner

Nate grew up right here in Princeton attending Terrace Shores most of his life.  He is a graduate of UW-Oshkosh and had been working as a Financial Advisor before being led back home to music ministry here at Terrace Shores.  Nate met his wife Christina, a speed-skating Veterinarian, on a blind date and they have been married since 2006.  Depending on the season, one will usually find Nate and Christina training for some kind of race – triathlons, cross-country skiing, speed skating, etc.  Currently, Nate is also working on a Diploma in Biblical Studies from the Elmbrook Study Center (which is through Trinity).

Andrea Dillie

Andrea grew up in Oshkosh and has quite the different background from the rest of the staff here at Terrace Shores! Andrea grew up in a family that was consumed by addiction. By the time Andrea was fourteen she was doing drugs everyday and was suicidal. It was only by the grace of God that she survived! In 1995 she met Tim Dillie, a native of Markesan, and they were married in 1998. It was through Tim and his faith that Andrea came to faith in Jesus. Tim and Andrea have two sons, Tristan and Gavin. Today, Andrea is so grateful for the undeserved love and protection God gave her during those dark days and for the many blessings she has. More than anything, Andrea wants her story to give others going through dark times and addiction a hope for a future. Click here to see Andrea’s video testimony.
