Brent Liberda

Associate Pastor

Brent’s first career was in forestry, and he became a believer while working in the mountains of North Idaho.

His career path led him to an Alliance church in Prattville, AL, where he was baptized, discipled, and felt God’s call to missionary service. While completing educational requirements for missionary service at Crown College of the CMA, he met his wife Lisa, and soon after marrying they pursued God’s call to cross-cultural ministry with the Pueblo Indian nations in New Mexico. After a decade of church-planting ministry in the Pueblos, they transitioned to overseas service and spent the next decade in missionary service in Mongolia. Due to health issues they were not able to remain in Mongolia and were redeployed to Paraguay. Unfortunately, the health issues pesisted and the Liberdas had to leave Paraguay and transition to stateside ministry. Fortunately, this change brought them to CMA Church. Pastor Brent oversees Missions, Outreach Ministries, and Community Groups. He and Lisa are delighted have the opportunity to serve and to be part of this church family!

Will Coulson

Pastor for Ministry & Prayer

Will oversees all prayer ministry here at CMA. He and his wife Marie both grew up in Ohio.

They were friends for a long time before they got married. After being married, they moved to Georgia where Will attended and graduated from Toccoa Falls College. He received a B.S. in Bible and Theology with a Minor in Counseling. In 1983 they moved to Morgantown and Will (ordained 1985) became the youth pastor for 10 years. It was a wonderful time of the Lord’s blessing. After that, by the leading of the Lord, Shammah Christian Services (Christian counseling ministry) was established in 1994. He continues to this day as director/counselor. The Coulsons love to worship and serve the Lord, play games, fish, be with family & friends, and have a good time. They are looking forward to seeing how God will advance His Kingdom as they serve the Body of Christ. Romans 15:13!

Heidi Amsler

Director of Children’s Ministries

Heidi has a passion for everything and all things kids! Since the time she was little, she has known she should be a teacher.  

She followed God’s leading in her life and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from a wonderful Christian College in Indiana: Grace College. She also worked hard to obtain a master’s degree in Education from Marygrove College in Detroit. Heidi has taught in the public schools for a total of 13 years.

While living in Chicagoland, Heidi took a break from teaching and felt God calling her to work at a church. There, Heidi was able to use her talents in a new setting and found so much joy in teaching children stories from the Bible and how much God loves them. Heidi served at Calvary Memorial Church in Oak Park for eight years, initially as the Associate and later as the Director of Children’s Ministry.

Heidi has a desire to see our youngest ones grow in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ our Lord. She finds it a joy to partner with parents as they rear strong children in the fear of the Lord. Heidi married her husband, Clayton, in 2005 and they have three beautiful girls – Hannah, Megyn and Kate. Heidi loves to mentor young women, is a voracious novel reader, and scrapbooks when she has time.
