Greg Grimwood: Lead Pastor

Cara and I have two hilarious and energetic daughters - Abby and McKenzie. I dove into full-time pastoral ministry on April Fool's Day of 2000. My seminary degree is from Knox Theological Seminary.

Cara Grimwood: Music & Formation Minister

I've been singing my whole life and on some type of music team since I was 10! I truly never thought I’d be here in this position, in fact, I’d still prefer to work behind the scenes. But being in this position has provided the opportunity for my personal growth, as well as to experience the beautiful way God has been working in this church.

Bobby Anderson: Family Ministry Coach

Tina Anderson: Nursery

Hi, I am Bobby Anderson. My wife, Tina, and I have two grown children and three grandchildren. We have been attending Southside since 2021. I have been a Cub Scout, Boy Scout leader, involved in Titan Christian Education and a Track coach. We love being outdoors and enjoy just about any outdoor activity. We love our Southside Family, and I am honored to be part of the leadership team.

If you're ever looking for me in a social setting, you will most likely find me with the kids. They are my people.

My husband, Joey, and I are big kids ourselves. Our son, Isaiah, is the social butterfly of the family as he waves to everyone he meets. He gets me out of my comfort zone.

Besides doing kids ministry, I also work as a tutor at Fredericksburg Elementary School. Helping kids learn and loving them like Jesus is the best job ever!

Hello! I’m so glad to be a part of Southside with my husband Matt and our new little one, Savannah. We were married in 2019 and live in Apple Creek. We enjoy hanging out with friends and family and love to host them at our place.

I am a homebody and could be fine not leaving the house for a couple days - though that’s changing a bit with a little one. But I like to be productive whether it’s tidying/cleaning up or spending some time enjoying a hobby (I have far too many to list.) I thrive on details and order. I am so thankful for the way God connected me to Southside to be in this position and get to be home with Savannah each day.

Hi! We're Grace and Tyler. We love our chickens, being outside, and making tacos.

Tyler is a big dreamer who jumps headfirst into action, loves making bad jokes, and eating anything with hot sauce. Grace prefers to analyze every angle, loves rolling her eyes at Tyler's jokes, and will eat anything sweet. We like to think we balance each other out in all the ways.

Our biggest desire is to be a relatable presence in our church community while collectively growing closer to the Lord. We love hosting and having people over to our home outside of Smithville!

Hello from the Kacere crew! Our family is made up of Alex, Mel, and our daughter, Kobi. Most people say that opposites attract and that couldn’t be more true for us!

Alex is passionate about sports, smoking meat, and hot sauce — he is extremely extroverted and everyone he meets is automatically his friend. Mel enjoys quiet moments on a porch swing, black tea, and filling a sketch book with new creations.

Although we are very different human beings we find unity in our deep love of friendships, community and Indian curry. Southside has been a joy to be a part of as we learn and grow alongside the body of Christ.

We are Chad and Jill Ackerman. We were high school sweethearts and have been married for 30 years. We have two adult sons and four beautiful grandchildren.

Our joy is found in Christ, spending time with our growing family, fishing (mostly Chad) and spending time at Lake Erie.

We love our Southside community, and enjoy serving any way we can.

We are really excited to meet so many Southsiders and be a part of such great things happening with the Hospitality groups, Women's Events, potlucks/picnics and see the growing kids ministry.

Jon enjoys hunting (especially western), good conversation, and cattle. Deb likes junk journaling and crafting (pretty much anything) and sewing. We both love to travel and see new places, but can still mostly be found at home with family.

We are blessed to be able to farm and share our property with our three adult children and their families. God is so good!

While I (Janelle) first lived in that state up north, my family moved to Ohio when I was in middle school, so we both really grew up in Wayne County and love this area.

We were married in 2019 and now live in Apple Creek with our daughter Savannah. We enjoy hanging out with friends and family and love to host them at our place. We’re big movie watchers, and in the fall we like to watch all the OSU and Browns football games that we can.

We’ve been blessed to find our church home in Southside since 2021 and are honored to serve on this team and wherever else as needed.

We have been married for 34 years. We have 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren. We enjoy everything outdoors like bike riding, hiking, and riding in the razor. We have been attending Southside for over 2 years.

Hello all, my name is Sean Lally, and I serve on the management team at Southside. My wife, Alisa, and I live in the heart of Wooster with our son, Crue. We both love spending time in Wooster with our community of friends — often around a fire, watching sports, playing recreational sports, playing cards, or spending time on our back porch.
