Jason O'Neal
Lead Pastor
Pastor Jason O’Neal is totally dedicated to serving the Lord and leading God’s people in their walk with God.
Born and raised in a wonderful Christian home near Anaheim, California, Jason sensed God’s call into full-time ministry as a young teenager.
Pursuing God’s call, Jason graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theology and Christian Ministry.
Jason then graduated with highest honors (Summa Cum Laude) from Olivet Nazarene University with a Master of Arts Degree in Pastoral Leadership.
Jason served for six years as a Youth Pastor and later as Young Adult Pastor at Anaheim First Church of the Nazarene, the church in which he grew up.
Jason has served as Lead Pastor now for more than 20 years in McPherson, Kansas, Liberal, Kansas, and for the past 11 years in Lewistown, Montana.
In a time when his father really needed Jason’s help, Jason willingly stepped in and helped make his father’s industrial equipment business a tremendous success… with annual sales increasing dramatically from $300,000 a year to more than $3 million a year!
God has tremendously blessed Pastor O’Neal’s ministry with increased spiritual depth and growth wherever he has served.
Jason is a confident leader, an effective communicator, a visionary, and a relationship builder.
Pastor O’Neal is married to his beautiful wife, Robin, who has been extremely supportive of the call of God on their lives, and they have served the Lord together for more than 25 years. They have three children: their son Aiden, who is 18, their daughter Brooke, who is 17, and their daughter Natalie, who is 14.
Jason loves to laugh, to travel, to ride motorcycles, to hike, hunt, and fish.
But most of all, Pastor O’Neal loves the Lord. His greatest passion is prayer and preaching the deep truths of God’s Word, leading the lost to saving faith in Jesus, and helping followers of Jesus grow even deeper in their faith.

Lynnette Buck
Office Administrator and Associate Pastor
I was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona, and have attended East Valley for most of my life. I have served in many different areas of the church. Some areas include Sunday School teacher for various age groups, Sunday School Superintendent, Church Board Secretary, and now Office Administrator and Associate Pastor. In 2024, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry through Nazarene Bible College and was ordained in June of 2025.
My husband, Dan, was born and raised in western New York and moved to Mesa in the early 1990s. He is employed at Honeywell Aerospace in Phoenix.
Dan has served on the church board and works in all the audio/visual areas of the church, and does most of the technical support and much of the maintenance for the church.
We have been married since 1997 and have two adult children.

Becky Mac Learn
Children's Pastor
Tony and I met at a church softball game and were married just over a year later. We have been married for 41 years.
We have three daughters: Yvette, Cassie, and Vivian. Yvette lives with her partner, Jeremy, in Colorado Springs. She stays home with their two St. Bernards and is managing her health as she deals with kidney failure and works toward getting on the transplant list. Cassie and her husband, Jake, live in Mesa with our four grandchildren. Cassie is a stay-at-home mom with her hands full caring for newborn twin boys, Jack and Tim, along with their older sister, Olivia, and older brother, Hayden. Our youngest daughter, Vivian, and her husband, Pono, live in Jacksonville, Florida. Vivian and Pono are both in the Navy and are stationed in Mayport, Florida.
Tony and I have served together in ministry for most of our married years. Tony is a third-generation automotive body man and holds his Airframe and Powerplant certification. He retired from Lockheed Martin, where he worked on the C-130 forward fuselage team. Tony loves collecting Hot Wheels, Legos, and RC aircraft. He is currently restoring his 1989 full-size Blazer.
I am a fifth-generation ordained pastor. I have worked either for a ministry organization or in churches for most of my life. I have a huge heart for families and kids. I collect chickens (not real ones). I love to bake, sew, and do anything crafty.
We love God with all our heart and it’s my desire to share the gospel with others.
