Pastor Montgomery, a native of PA and Sis. Montgomery native to Illinois, were on the evangelistic field when God called them to the city of Altoona in 2001.  They came to Altoona with a heart for souls. They have worked diligently and faithfully to raise a family and pastor a church where the broken can find freedom, feel welcomed and loved no matter where they are in their journey in life.
From a previous life of drugs to preaching the Gospel, Pastor Montgomery understands the delivering and life-giving power of Jesus Christ. He has a unique style of preaching, filled with enthusiasm. You may be crying one minute and laughing the next, but you will know he has poured his heart into every message he preaches.
Sis. Montgomery teaches Bible Study on Wednesday night. You will find from her a heart of passion and desire to bring Gods will to every study. She also has a unique stye of teaching that reaches all levels of understanding.
Both Pastor and Sis. Montgomery desire for everyone to experience the joy, peace and deliverance that comes through personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They share a very genuine love for people of all walks of life and are a blessing to all who meet them.  Together they truly serve the people of R.A.M.A. We are blessed with the best!

To know them is to love them!
Bro. and Sis. Wehrle have been a huge blessing to R.A.M.A in more ways than we can count. They too came to this city with a love and burden for everyone who needs Jesus.
Bro. Wehrle has spent many years sharing his wisdom with us and currently teaches our adult Sunday School class with passion and conviction through God's leading. If you look around our church, you will find Bro. Wehrle's handiwork everywhere.  Through the years, if there has been a project needing completed, you could always count on Bro. Wehrle to serve well.
Sis. Wehrle is quiet and takes a behind the scenes approach when it comes to speaking or teaching but you will find her busy about winning souls. She can walk into any place in our community at any given time and you will find her making a new friend and shining the light of Jesus into everyone she meets.
Together they have impacted the lives of many people through the years. They have been adopted as our church Grandpa and Grandma to many of our children growing up through the years and have served that role well.  Bro. and Sis. Wehrle live a great example of what truly serving Jesus means. We are thankful for their heart of serving, the Godly example they set and the wisdom they share in daily living!

You will hear Julia  often say, "I don't know where I'm going, but God said GO!"
At a young age Julia received a call to the Mission Field and she answered!
She has since gone to Quebec, Canada and West Guinea, Africa. Both of these opportunities deepened her burden for the many who need Jesus and she diligently works the Home Mission field here in the City of Altoona with great passion and burden for the lost.
At the young age of 19, she continues to GO, GO, GO as she answers the call to lead our Youth into a deeper and greater walk with God. Julia brings much excitement to the Youth Department. She is full of life and energy, has a great sense of humor and enjoys a good laugh.  She keeps the Example Youth Media pages full of life as she puts her creativity abilities to action. Her ministry does not stop there.  Julia has a heart to walk in obedience with God even when it's hard, uncomfortable, and feels uncertain at times. You will find Julia faithfully working to reach our city through our outreach ministry, leading our worship services, teaching weekly Bible Study and doing whatever else God calls her to do.
God said "Go", so she goes where He leads.
 We are excited to see where God leads our youth department through her leadership.

Skye Lundy is a 2026 High School graduate who plans to attend Urshan University in the near future. In the meantime, she fulfills her calling here at R.A.M.A primarily as a Sunday School Teacher.  Look at her next to some of her students and you can't tell who the teacher is.  She is tiny in stature but mighty in teaching and setting an example to our littles.
