Rick Wise, Senior Pastor

Hi. I am Pastor Rick Wise. Thank you for visiting our web site. My wife’s name is Eileene but most people know her as "E." We have three grown children Stephanie, Marty and Tina and five grandchildren. E and I have been married more than 30 years.

I was born in Anchorage, AK in October, 1953. In May of 1954 my parents moved to Homer where I have lived the Alaskan dream. Like most Alaskans, I've been a commercial fisherman and construction worker. I enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, biking and snow-machining.

From a young age I felt God’s call on my life. My preparation for ministry included three years attending an Aircraft Mechanic School in Wichita Falls, Texas where I met my wife. In January of 1977, we attended Piedmont Bible College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and graduated in 1982. We then moved to Winona Lake, Indiana where I attended Grace Seminary, graduating in 1985.

I have had the great privilege of pastoring my home church since 1985. It has been a joy to see what God has done. I hope that you will get an opportunity to visit our church and met all the wonderful people that make Glacierview a great church.
