Elders

Dwight Wise

Elder of Worship & Ministries

I grew up in a Christian home, my father being a pastor, where I expressed faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 7. Growth in Christ was not always visible to some, nor consistent until I went to Bible College, but God's faithfulness was never doubted. I married Rita (Paswaters) in 1983, and together we have five daughters, five sons-in-law and 14 grandchildren. I graduated from Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny IA and continued my education at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando FL. I served as an associate Pastor to teens and adults for four years in Phoenix, AZ. Later, I served for 10 years in Orlando, FL as a Youth Pastor and an Associate Pastor. In addition, I served as a Pastor for 10 years in Madison WI before helping establish Redeemer Bible Fellowship in 2008.

Jeff Greiveldinger

Elder of Administration & Mens/Womens Ministries

I became a Christian as an adult (29 years old), largely thanks to a coworker and our daily discussions on Creationism and the Bible. I immediately knew I needed to become invested in God's church and his people. This began slowly at first, really just by attending my wife's family church regularly, though I continued to have daily discussions at work. After being let go by my employer, I endeavored to serve in our church. However, the Lord brought my family and me to Madison shortly afterward. After struggling in our new church, we decided to investigate other churches and began attending a Baptist church. There my wife and I were baptized and began to grow. We have been a part of RBF since 2008.

I have been married to Jennifer (Wichman) since 1995 and am the father of 3 beautiful daughters: Savannah, Lilyan and Rebekah.

Kody Ashbeck

Elder of Christian Education & Outreach

Having grown up in a Catholic home, I understood a lot of Christian teaching, but the doctrine of justification by faith was not something I understood. By God's grace, in 2002 I understood my sin and put my entire faith in Christ to save me from my sin. I have been a part of RBF since 2008.
