I am amazed every day at the grace of God.  That He reached down to save me when I was a rebellious teenager.  I grew up on a farm, the third oldest of ten kids.  God got a hold of me when I was 17 years old through the hellfire and brimstone ministry of Wes Aarum.  We called him Aarum-Scarem in High School.  When God saved me at age 17, I immediately sensed Him calling me into pastoral ministry.  I was amazed again that God would call me into ministry because I struggled with stuttering and had a huge inferiority complex.  But God began His good work in me when I attended Winnipeg Bible College for three years. 

Immediately after Bible College, I volunteered to go on a summer ministry in Germany.  That is where I met my beautiful wife, Eva.  She had grown up in the Children’s Home where I volunteered after my summer ministry, and within a year, we were married.  Eva has been an incredible help in our ministry.  She was always ready and eager to help out in any ministry she could, except playing the piano.  She has a beautiful ministry of encouragement with everyone. 

Shortly after we returned to Canada, I attended Winnipeg Theological Seminary and finished my MA in Christian Ed in 1978. That same summer, we moved to our first place of ministry, the Humboldt Bible Church in Saskatchewan.  We followed Randy Heinrichs to this church.  After leaving Humboldt, we ministered in an Evangelical Free Church in Neilburg, Saskatchewan, and from there went as missionaries to Austria. By this time, we had a son and two daughters, who were immediately immersed in the Austrian culture. For 4 years, Eva and I managed a Retreat Center in western Austria, as well as helped out in the local church.  Then we served in Church Planting in Vienna for two years before coming back home to Canada. 

Since that time, we have served in several FEBC Churches, the Christian Fellowship Chapel in Winnipeg from 1999- 2007, then Kenora Bible Church from 2009-2016, and again from 2020-2022.  While pastoring the church in Winnipeg, I finished my MDiv at Providence Seminary.   

During our time in Kenora, we also got involved in fostering several children with high medical needs. Our first girl passed away at age 8, and our second girl passed away at age 10.  It was an amazing privilege to take care of these girls as well as several other kids. 

Upon retirement, we moved to Steinbach, my home area.  But then the Richer Fellowship Church needed some help, and so we began our ministry there in April of 2025.  We are enjoying the work here. God’s faithfulness reaches to the skies, and we praise Him for the privilege to serve Him.

Samuel Tschetter began serving as pastor of Jansen Bible Church in Jansen, Nebraska, in November, following the retirement of long-time pastor Paul Carpenter.

Samuel studied at Grace University in Omaha for just two years, receiving an associate's degree. Upon Grace’s closure in 2018, Samuel transferred to Calvary University in Kansas City and received both a Bachelor of Arts and a master’s degree from the school. After graduating from seminary at Calvary, Samuel served as the associate pastor of Stromsburg Baptist Church for two years before coming to Jansen.

Samuel was born and raised in Ogallala, Nebraska, where his father pastors. Samuel’s wife, Charissa, is also a pastor’s kid who was born and raised in small town Nebraska. They met at Calvary and lived in Kansas City while Samuel was in seminary before moving back to Nebraska. They have a heart for the people of the state and region, specifically those in the smaller towns, and are excited to continue to serve in that context.  

Samuel and Charissa have a daughter, Jane, who is almost 2 years old, and they are expecting another child in April. In their free time, they enjoy watching Nebraska sports, playing pickleball, reading, and going on walks as a family.

Samuel and Charissa have been amazed at how the Lord has worked in their lives over the past year in leading them to Jansen Bible Church and then having all the details fall into place to make their transition successful. Over the few months they have been at JBC, they have greatly enjoyed getting to know and serve alongside many in the church and look forward to serving there for years to come.  ​

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 

My name is Rex Green, and I’m honored to be the new pastor of Community Bible Church in Wolf Point, Montana, on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. My family and I were called here in October 2025, after having served a small, rural SBC congregation in central Missouri for the last 16-½ years. We find the saints of Community Bible Church faithful, and the fellowship sweet. 

I have been blessed with the love of a faithful helpmate, Annie, for nearly 22 years (on March 12). She is not only the other (better) half of me, but is an amazing minister in her own right. She is a gifted administrator, teacher, counsellor, and artist, and has been my worship leader for nearly two decades of ministry. I am blessed to be her second love, Jesus Christ being her first. 

My mother, Sue (Mema to her friends, which is just about everybody), also made the move with us. She has discovered an adventurous love for Montana and its people, and her zeal for the Lord is contagious. She was also recently appointed as the church librarian. 

Visitors to the parsonage will also have the opportunity to meet our two dogs, Abby and Ziva (yes, from the TV show). Abby is my sweet, talented 55 lb German Shepherd-mix, and is a certified therapy dog. I’ve used her in ministry to youth camps, nursing homes, and crisis counselling for nearly 5 years. Ziva, the baby of the family, is our 110 lb sable German Shepherd. She would love to make your acquaintance, especially if you have snacks. They make regular appearances as sermon illustrations, as they tend to be less sensitive about that sort of thing than deacons and family members. 

Our home is filled with love, music, and good old-fashioned fattening home cooking, and we like to share all three. Since arriving in Wolf Point, I’ve been able to serve the local school district as a substitute teacher and school bus driver. Annie has started learning piano and continues her painting and writing. Mema hasn’t read every single book in the local library...yet, but she’s made a significant dent. She has also started updating and cataloguing the church’s library. All of these activities have afforded us the opportunity to connect with the community and to shine the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

We’re excited to be a part of the FEBC and look forward to seeing what God has in store for us here in Montana. Please pray for our family, our brothers and sisters in Christ back in Missouri, and the saints that we serve alongside here on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, that God would be glorified in all we do, and that the harvest would be bountiful. 

Sincerely yours, eternally His, 
Rex Green 
Pastor, Community Bible Church 
Wolf Point, MT
