At Imago, we believe that shared leadership makes us better.

Our church is led by the Leadership Team. They are responsible for the direction, vision and operation of the church. In that capacity, they oversee the staff and give direction to the Formation Team, Resource Team and Ministry Team. We have a multitude of gifted leaders in our community, and we're grateful for the roles they play.

Leadership Team

Jason Salyers

Jason and his wife Amy have three adult — and one almost-adult — kids who routinely humble them with their talents, creativity, and kindness. He works as a creative director for a local marketing firm, but when he’s not working, he’s playing music, writing, or fly fishing (the latter with limited success).

Elizabeth Hensold

Elizabeth is married to David and mother to the cutest little boys. She is the one and only social worker at the Peoria City/County Health Department, and hails originally from Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains. She enjoys a good crime drama (and many of the bad ones). Her superpower is fact-finding using only social media, but she uses her powers only for good and not evil.

Megan Mason

Megan is a wife and stay at home parent to two adorable children. In her free time, she enjoys being active, hiking, reading, playing guitar, taking road trips and hanging out with friends. She is also a church camp counselor every summer to a group of amazing kids. One fun fact about her is that she is really talented at creating parody songs about people and is expected to perform one each year at camp. She is so excited to be on the Leadership Team!

Dan Moore - Chair of Leadership Team

Dan Moore is a husband to Libby and father to Elijah and Imogen. He teaches history and coaches Scholastic Bowl at Richwoods High School.

Lisa McCormick

Lisa and her husband have attended Imago since 2010. Together they have three kids: Lily, Jane, and Leon. After 10 years of being a stay at home parent, she now works full time for the USDA at the ‘Ag Lab’ in Peoria. Lisa is also part of the Genesis team at Imago and schedules the volunteers who teach our children. Lisa’s favorite weekday is Thursday - when her small town newspaper is delivered and she can complete the crossword puzzle.

Ginger Kruiswyk

Ginger is married to the very patient Rich and together they are parents to eight mostly-grown children. She loves all things numbers and works for a large pharmaceutical company in their tax department. She is very excited about her husband's retirement and all the possibilities that opens up for home projects and additional time together.
