Scott Grabendike - Senior Pastor
God has blessed me with my wife Kara with whom I have been married for over 16 years. We have two energetic kids Caleb and Chloe who love life and bless mom and dad daily. I have been privileged to serve in three different churches (two in CA and one in CO) prior to coming to Westbrook. I have a desire to see people grow in their love for God and others. I also have a strong desire to see the body of Christ come together for Kingdom purposes. In my free time I enjoy camping, backpacking, riding off-road motorcycles, hiking, watching movies and BBQing (even in really cold weather). I was never a Broncos fan (just so you know) and am learning how to pronounce all of the colorful names of places here in Wisconsin. Excited to serve you!
Roger Johnson - Development Pastor
Hi, My name is Roger. It is my privilege to serve as the Development Pastor at Westbrook. Life is an adventure, especially when Jesus is Lord. God has blessed my wife Susan and I with two beautiful daughters. Music is the tie that binds our home and family. Stop by and you may hear a daughter playing drums, clarinet, or the piano.
I enjoy road and mountain biking, and canoeing the Whitewater Rivers of Wisconsin. Camping is one of our favorite family activities. My desire is to see people come to know Jesus Christ and to live passionately for Him. My hope is that Westbrook church would be the place you and your family join in that Adventure.
Dan Schober - Discovery Pastor
I have been married to Muffy for over 40 years. We have three daughters and five grandchildren. The first 35 years of my professional life were spent as a school teacher, coach and Athletic Director (the final 26 years at Kettle Moraine). I'm in my tenth year as pastor. My duties include community care, adult classes, sports camps and men's ministry. I love to teach (and often do), as well as leading Men's Small Groups. In my leisure time, I love to read and/or workout. I have been a part of Westbrook Church since its inception.
Amy Thompson - Director of Deployment
My name is Amy Thompson, and I am privileged to have worked with Global Outreach since Westbrook's earliest days. My husband Craig and I came to the church as newlyweds in 1983. We served as missionaries with the Navigators for the three years of our engagement; Craig traveling in Eastern Europe while I was teaching at a school for missionary kids in Kenya. We now live in Stone Bank and have four great kids. We have flourished as a family in Westbrook's atmosphere of grace and growth.
My passion is to help each person at Westbrook be part of encouraging and equipping missionaries for their various ministries, to become one of many hands, heads, and hearts committed to practically loving and faithfully praying for those we have "sent" to work in other parts of the Lord's Kingdom, and to being available as "extended family" to help our International Workers with whatever challenges life or ministry brings. A few favorite smaller passions, besides people and creation: good coffee, good books, good music, good drama, good art...and horseback riding!

As Westbrook has trusted Jesus Christ these past 25 years to "build His church," we continue to serve the same Lord and the same mission: To Know Him and To Make Him Known. God keeps giving us more opportunities to reach up, reach in, and reach out. It is God’s hand of faithfulness, provision, wisdom, perfect timing, amazing grace and goodness, and transforming power in individual lives which has written and will continue to write Westbrook’s story.
At Westbrook, we define water baptism as a picture or outward demonstration of the work God is doing in the lives of those who have committed themselves to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Watch the bulletin for upcoming class opportunities.

On the first Sunday of each month, we practice communion as a special reminder of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The bread and juice are offered to all followers of Jesus Christ as a symbol of the body and blood of Christ. Participants are encouraged to prepare their hearts for this time of remembrance and celebration of what Christ has done for us.
