Gabriel is a transplant from the Midwest, having grown up in rural Missouri west of St. Louis. Gabe (as we like to call him) joined the staff in 2010 to lead our Music and Worship Ministry. He and his wife, Rachel, have three sons, so there is always something happening at the Ohmes home! Gabe enjoys riding bikes, exploring the outdoors with his family, home improvement, and all things musical.
Rachel is another transplant from the St. Louis area. She joined our staff in 2022 after working in the BCC Children's Ministry as a teacher for 11 years. She loves kids and is passionate about teaching them about the love of God and the power of Jesus. Rachel loves to spend her time reading, cooking, camping and hiking with her husband and sons, and watercolor painting. Her husband, Gabe, likes to say she's solar powered. So during the summer months, you can usually find her outside gardening and tending to her flowers.
