Daryl has pastored churches in a variety of settings for three decades, and more recently has overseen congregations and served on the boards of RBC and the Rosedale Network of Churches. His (usual, but not constant!) love of writing has been expressed in some limited newspaper journalism and in self-publishing a book. Daryl and his wife Kay have five children (all RBC alumni, as it turns out) and multiple grandchildren. He sees the Great Commission as a two-winged strategy of evangelizing and mentoring, and enjoys volunteering in secular settings with the conversations that sometimes develop. He is thrilled that RBC is a learning destination for preparing Kingdom workers, and greatly desires to empower students for worship, fellowship and service.

Dion grew up in Northern Indiana. He married his wife Krista and they are blessed with four children. They served together with Living Hope Native Ministries in Ontario, Canada as youth leaders at Sudbury First Nations Church where Dion was also on the pastoral team. While with Living Hope Native Ministries, he also was the director of the Akwachink Leadership Program leading students on canoe trips in the Canadian wilderness. They moved to Manitoba, Canada where Dion attended Providence Theological Seminary. At Providence, he studied counseling and psychotherapy but also fell in love with the study of Scripture and theology and he continued his education in systematic theology with a primary focus on the importance of the church as a community and how the early practices of the Anabaptists shaped their communities. While in Manitoba, Dion worked for a short time as a psychotherapist and was in leadership at his church. He has a passion for the church and for the importance of the formation of the community as God’s people. In his free time, Dion loves the slow and mindful process of woodworking using primarily vintage hand tools. He is excited to journey with students through their time at Rosedale as they allow themselves to be shaped and formed by the story of God.

Jeff grew up in Iowa regularly attending a church. The direction of his life changed drastically at age 15 when he became a born-again follower of Jesus. At that point, he knew the Lord was calling him to devote his life to vocational ministry. So far, that calling has led him on a journey that included pursuing education in Biblical studies and ministry, living overseas to help train church planters, returning to the US to pastor, and now helping to prepare Kingdom workers at RBC. Since 2015, he is thrilled to be joined in ministry by Jessica, who is not only his wife but also best friend. Jeff is excited to be able to play a part in God’s mission by helping students to grow and preparing them to go. His aim is to make his classes as practical and spiritually enriching as possible so that the students leave RBC more mature in their faith in Jesus and better equipped to reach others with the good news about Jesus.

Jeremy and his wife Sarah are originally from the plains of Kansas and have been blessed with four children. They spent nearly 12 years in northeastern Ohio where he pastored Mennonite Christian Assembly. They love Christ and His body and have been called to equip those in the Kingdom of God for more effective service to the King. They cut firewood, enjoy their Burnese Mountain Dog, and love helping with the Kansas wheat harvest in the summer. Jeremy was once a student at Rosedale then went on to get his Bachelor's from Sterling College and Master's from Malone University. Jeremy loves getting to know students and watching God’s Spirit transform their lives. Additionally, it's hard for him to imagine a better group of people to work with. "The camaraderie of staff and faculty is rich and rewarding and our students benefit from a unified group of people who enjoy each other."

Rich was born and raised in Belleville, PA. After graduating from college, he spent a year volunteering at Rosedale, assisting with various technology related projects. Following that year, he moved to eastern PA, where he earned his masters degree and began his career. Rich has always been involved with his church, serving in various youth ministry, leadership, and worship team roles. For many years, Rich would donate a week of his summer to RBC to assist with website and database projects. Rich moved to the Rosedale area in 2017 when he married his wife Bethany. They currently are active members of Shiloh Mennonite Church, where they both serve on the worship team, and co-lead a life group. In their spare time, Rich and Bethany enjoy spending time outdoors taking care of their property and hiking at various state parks. Rich looks forward to introducing students to a field of study they may have never considered pursuing in the past. He enjoys interacting with the students, and watching them grow throughout the semester. It is such a joy to watch when things start to "click" for students, and they are able to put all the pieces together to create something special.

Reuben does not come from the Christianized subculture--his upbringing and its environment were secular. Although he's been in the Mennonite world for a long time, his formative years as a Christian were spent in other groups. That said, he is committed and tries to nurture an Anabaptist approach to faith. Before he went into ministry, the focus of his energies was in rock and folk music, where he had modest success and many great experiences. He is married to Vicki, and they have three grown sons. Reuben is currently on the pastoral team at London Christian Fellowship. Reuben loves teaching and believes strongly in education as a necessary part of growth in Christ. "It is the power of the classroom--the timeless human encounter of students who want to know and teachers who know the way to get them started that excites me most. Higher education is especially exciting because students are now at a stage when they have to process, sometimes disagree, analyze and learn to articulate ideas that drive the adult world. Even when it is messy, it can be wonderful, especially as you see a faith grow from childishness to maturity."

Jon Showalter is the instructor for the Anabaptist History & Theology course that is part of the Training in Ministry program at Rosedale Bible College. He also teaches a few courses on campus. From the start, you will notice Jon’s experience, passion, and knowledge. Married to Dawn, Jon and his wife live in Rosedale Ohio, at least most of the time. Along the way, they have also lived in China, Morocco, and Costa Rica. They are the parents of four young adult sons—all married—and recently became grandparents for the first time. Showalter became interested in the history and theology of Anabaptism as he grew up in a family and church that took their Mennonite identity seriously. While a student at Rosedale Bible College in 1977, Jon participated in their first Anabaptist history study tour to Europe, and his interest developed further from that point. After Rosedale Bible College, an undergraduate degree in philosophy at Ohio State University opened windows to a broader world of ideas. Church planting with Rosedale International in Ecuador raised questions about if and how Anabaptist identity matters outside of the Mennonite enclaves into which Jon was born. Jon would go on to study theology and church history at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he asked new questions regarding how the Mennonite tradition has been shaped by the controversies which unfolded among American fundamentalists and evangelicals in the twentieth century. Jon returned to Ohio, to study at Ohio State University, for additional study at the doctoral level. His doctoral studies focused on the Protestant Reformation and the world in which Anabaptism first emerged. While at OSU, an invitation to teach one course at Rosedale Bible College opened the door to what turned into twenty-five years of teaching courses in history, theology, and ethics. All of these courses are connected by the common thread of shared questions: how did the ideas so unique to Anabaptism in the Reformation era develop in the centuries which followed? To what extent do those themes continue to shape Mennonites and other groups in the twenty-first century? And perhaps most importantly, why and how does any of this matter?

Matt grew up as a missionary kid in the Middle East. In 1997, he married Colleen and they now have 5 children. Together they have served in a church planting role in the Middle East and in youth ministry. He taught High School Bible for 5 years before accepting an invitation to join the faculty at RBC. Today, Matt helps pastor at Agape Community Fellowship in Hilliard. Matt loves the community that develops on campus each year. "The discussions, prayer, encouragement, debates, growth and support that grow out of the shared desire to follow Jesus are what I look forward to the most as I teach here at RBC."

With brief exceptions, Phil has been employed by non-profit missions or educational institutions since graduating from high school. A few sources for illustrations from his life include growing up in the South, doing prison ministry, farming, serving on church leadership teams, being the youngest member of a large family, and being a husband to Twila, father and grandfather. Phil's favorite moments as a teacher come when he sees the light of new understanding dawn on the face of a student, or when a student asks a question that shows deep insight or engagement with the Scripture.
