our team
Grace Bible Church strives to be faithful to what the Bible teaches about church leadership. We are an autonomous local body of believers, led by a plurality of elders. According to God's Word, we believe the role of pastor and elder is to be filled by men who meet the criteria in 1 Timothy and Titus. Also according to Scriptural instruction and example, we believe the role of deacon is to be filled by men and women who meet the requirements in 1 Timothy and Titus.
Micah Gelatt | Elder, Teaching Pastor
Micah is married to Johanna, and they have 7 children (nicknamed The Magnificent Seven). His greatest joys are time with his family, and teaching others to think from a Biblical worldview and grow deeply rooted in the study of God's Word. He is an ardent Kansas City Chiefs fan who loves time with a chainsaw or hiking through God's amazing creation.
Mark Dinkel | Elder
Mark and his wife Lesley are the proud parents of 7 adult children. Mark is a lifelong Alaskan, and loves basketball and all things fitness. Much more than that, Mark loves discipling and mentoring other men to live out their calling and role as Godly men pursuing Jesus.
Barry and Katie Yancosek | Deacons
Barry and Katie are the proud parents of 2 adult children, Josh and Will. Although newer to the Alaskan valley, they have a deep love for the outdoors, hunting, fishing, fellow military veterans, and to see people following after Jesus. Their desire to serve the needs of others is infectious.
