Steve Wilson|Chair
My wife Karen, and I have attended Faith Covenant Church for over 30 years. I currently serve as an Usher Captain and previously served on the church council as an at large member and as President. In the past I have served as a light and sound technician and for several years I administered the Alpha program.
I have been an active member of the Unidos en Cristo (United in Christ) community not only at Faith Covenant Church but the greater community as well. I have also participated in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF).
Justin Tucker|Vice Chair
My wife, Anne, and I have been attending Faith Covenant Church for the last 7 years. Our children, Jackson and Hannah, have grown up in the Faith Covenant Children’s Ministry. I have served in various roles within our Children’s Ministry, currently serving with the Youth Group, Loaves & Fishes and as a part of the usher team. One of my joys of service within the church has been serving alongside my family. I love seeing my children learn about becoming the hands and feet of Jesus and serving His church. Shameless plug, but for those of you with young children, sign up to serve with them. They will love it, and you will find out they are more capable than given credit for. Outside of work, I enjoy time with family, traveling, trying new foods and the outdoors.

My wife, Gina, and I have been attending Faith Covenant Church for over 15 years now with our two children, Drew and Aria. Over the years, we have served in several capacities in the children’s and youth ministries, as deacons, on search committees, etc. In our time here at Faith Covenant Church, we have seen a lot of changes, but I can honestly say that I am excited to see what God has in store for us as a church body. These last several years have been hard for everyone. Still, I’m very proud of how this body of believers has stayed faithful to God’s calling to serve our community here in Burnsville (and the surrounding areas) nationally and internationally.

Paula Madsen|Member At Large
I have been a member of Faith Covenant Church for 23 years, which my family attended several years prior to that. My husband, Gregg and I have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. The most important family value to us is that our children knew the gospel and that Jesus loved them and we encouraged prayer and Bible reading and attended church regularly. I have been in prayer for a year waiting and discerning what God has in mind for me and trusting that I’m hearing Him right to answer the call for serving on the LT. I’m blessed to call FCC my church family and look forward to the plans God has for me. Jeremiah 29:11
