You can catch Jeff after service in the lobby laughing with the adults and catching up, all the while shaking the arms off of their kids with one his famous, loveable “Jeff Handshakes.” When he’s not preaching or getting ready for a sermon, he is probably busy cheering for his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers or Penn State Nittany Lions! Either that, or spending time with the love his life, Julie, with their two kids, Jeff and Patti, their spouses, or having fun with grandsons, Huck and Whit! What Jeff loves the most about serving here are the deep and significant relationships he’s been able to create with his church family. If you were to know Jeff for just a few moments, it’d already be easy to see: He’s passionate about helping others experience a real and personal relationship with the God who made them, loved them, and wants to spend eternity with them! 

You can find Kyle doing just about anything – from playing in a Mario Kart tournament to, skateboarding downhill to tying in God’s timeless Word with the fleeting relevance of the latest viral video or trend. If he’s not hosting a Sunday morning service or running Wednesday night Youth Group or wearing a panda head, he’s probably playing golf or cheering on the Atlanta United soccer team.

Kyle served as a Student Intern for two summers at East Win and then in 2020 he was asked to be our full-time Interim Student Minister while he finished his Senior year of college at Johnson University. In the Fall of 2020, Kyle was asked to become the full-time Student Minister.

John along with his wife, Becky and daughter, Lizi, make up the "Bliffen Band" as we lovingly refer to them. They served as our house band when due to the coronavirus, we were forced to stay at home and worship only online.  We asked John to continue serving as our Worship Coordinator when we returned back to our facilities and he graciously agreed. Some of John's favorite hobbies are playing the guitar and writing songs. He also enjoys spending time with each of his children and grandchildren! John’s been part of the Oak Lane family since 2012, where he first helped to establish our Hispanic congregation, Iglesia Cristiana. His passion for reaching Spanish-speakers with the Gospel led him to Spain with his wife Becky from 2016 - 2019, where he faithfully served God and helped to plant a church in Grenada, Spain.
