Josh Scharmann

Associate Pastor

My wife Acelyn and I have been married since 2016, and we have two daughters, Casey and Dani. I have been serving on staff at Ripon Grace in various ministries since 2019, and I have loved seeing the many ways God works in, on, and through our church.

Tina Fikejs

Office Administrator

I came to know and love Jesus at an early age.  Since then, I am continually amazed at the infinite depths of His love and grace.  My husband Charles and I have four sons, two daughters-in-law and four adorable grandchildren.  We are grateful for each day. 

Denise Davis

I moved to Ripon with my husband, Wes, and our two children in 2003 and shortly after we joined Ripon Grace. We have been happy to serve in many ministries during our time here, such as leadership, music, and Bible teaching. I have been employed as bookkeeper here for ten years and I have been pleased to serve my church in this capacity.
