WCC Youth Sponsors

 Youth Pastor

I am Jay Bock, the full time Youth Pastor at WCC. I started working here fresh out of college and have really enjoyed tackling the challenges that come with learning how to do my job. I stay busy attending the students sporting events, concerts and activities, but with my free time I enjoy watching Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs and Jeopardy, or playing board games and doing crosswords with my wife Rebecca.

I play a number of musical instruments including tuba, guitar, bass guitar, harmonica and even a one man band that I built for a college talent show. I have always had an interest in doing some kind of community driven ministry, and have found my talents, interests and passions fit very nicely into student ministries here at Winterset Community Church.

Our Middle School sponsor working with the 5th and 6th grade students is Rebecca Bock.

I am Rebecca Bock the teacher librarian at Winterset Elementary and Winterset Middle School.  I am working with the middle school youth group at WCC because I enjoy students of that age and like getting to know the kids in a different context than seeing them during the school day. I enjoy reading for both work and pleasure, doing crossword puzzles with Jay, and spending time with my four siblings and my parents.  My favorite foods are peanut butter and movie theater popcorn.  My favorite memory from high school youth group is teaching a girls' Bible study for elementary kids.

Loretta Paulin works with our 7th and 8th grade Junior High students.

I am Loretta Paullin. I am 47 years old. I have been married to Bob for 29 years. I work part time as an office nurse at Madison County Medical Associates.  In my free time I enjoy reading, sewing, and listening to music of all kinds.  I do not really have a favorite food, I just love to eat.  I help teach Promise Land Jr. and Promise Land.   I enjoy working with children of all ages, I find their honesty to be very enlightening.  My goal is to help to teach children about Christian Living and to show them you can have fun while learning.  One of my goals in life, is to enjoy every minute God gives me here on earth. ( As you may see, I'm just a kid at heart.) 

Gregg Matlage works with the Senior High students.

I am Gregg Matlage, I am 48 years old and I work at the Winterset post office. I am married to my wife Leann and I have 3 daughters - Brooke, Paige and Whitney. Currently I assist Jay with the high school youth group. I have enjoyed playing video games since before any of the current high school students have been born, but I also enjoy getting to know the kids and learning about their families. I like to play and have fun, but I also like helping the kids learn about God. It is important for the youth to know they can have fun and still honor God.
