Meet the Pastor

Pastor Wayne and Nancy Rohde are a dynamic husband/wife team with a supernatural calling to equip and train the people of God to expand the Kingdom of God. They possess a unique blend of spiritual gifts, professional training and experience, one complementing the other.

The Rohde's have been nearly lifelong residents of the Milwaukee area. Married in 1967, the Rohde's have two daughters, Nicole and Kristy, and four grandchildren. Prior to entering the ministry, Pastor Wayne worked for 12 years for the W. H. Brady Co. where he was Quality Control manager before leaving to study for the ministry. Nancy worked as a registered nurse and nursing supervisor until 1984 when she became the principal of Jubilee Christian School. Nancy now serves the ministry as the Church Administrator.

On December 6, 1975 Pastor Rohde received a supernatural calling into the ministry as the Lord revealed to him the "charter" of the ministry he was later to enter. The calling consisted of words from Isaiah. 59:19b "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him."

In 1978 the Rohde's moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend Rhema Bible Training Center, a two year school for ministers. While enrolled at Rhema the Rohde's attended Faith Christian Fellowship and were greatly influenced and inspired by the ministry of Pastor Buddy Harrison. Both graduated in 1980 and returned to found what is now Jubilee Christian Family Church. Pastor Rohde was ordained in 1981 by Faith Christian Fellowship and in 1986 by Rhema Bible Church, both in Tulsa.

Since entering the ministry in 1980 Pastor Rohde has labored to fulfill the holy calling given to him to "stoutly defend the truth that God gave once for all to his people to keep without change through the years." Jude 3, TLB
