Arnie and April moved to Logan, Kansas in October of 2009. April’s grandfather’s family homesteaded south of Logan and she grew up coming to Logan every year for family reunions. So, when they moved here, it was like moving to her hometown, although she was raised in Colorado. Shortly after they moved here, April joined TFC staff and eventually became the leader of the Logan TFC group. They now co-lead the Logan group with Lewis and Susan Smith from Phillipsburg and they love being part of the community of Logan, getting to know the families and the teens, and teaching the teens about Jesus! April also leads the junior high group in Wakeeney in partnership with the Church of God.

Ethan’s TFC journey began as a teenager in the Eastern Heights TFC group in Agra, KS. Throughout his high school years his involvement in the ministry grew, and by the time he went to college the Lord had placed this ministry on his heart as a place God might be calling Ethan back to. After serving in volunteer and intern positions throughout college, he joined TFC staff in the fall of 2012. Ethan loves leading the Thunder Ridge group, as well as being Co-Camp Director where he gets to work with interns as they learn to plan and execute camp.
