Elder Board
Ryan Jones
Lead Elder
I have attended Shawnee Alliance since 2008 and have been on the elder board for several years. I also volunteer in the scouting ministry and security team, as well as drive the church van. I appreciate that the generosity and community shown by Shawnee Alliance through community outreach, missions, and small groups are covered in the love of Christ.
John Manuel
I have attended Shawnee Alliance Church since moving to Lima in 2008 and have served on the elder board since 2019. My children (Hailey, Emily, Chelsea, and Brian) grew up in this church, and our family has volunteered with multiple church activities over the years. Currently I am most active as a church shuttle van driver on Sundays, and assist with chair setup when needed. I love this church family, and am personally so grateful to our excellent church staff and ministry leaders!

I have attended Shawnee Alliance since 1980, when I was a 6th grader in Mrs. Jeri Sheets' Sunday school class. I have served on the elder board since 2008, and also volunteer with the Worship Team regularly and lead worship in the Traditional Service occasionally. My wife, Waneda and I are currently involved in two small groups and I continue meeting with my Fight Club squadron as well. What I love most about Shawnee Alliance is the sense of community and seeing how God works through His people. It is a blessing to be a part of it.
Dale Steinmetz
I have attended Shawnee Alliance Church since I was a senior at Wapakoneta High School. I’ve served on the elder board for a total of nearly 20 years. There is so much that I love about Shawnee Alliance. I’ve learned so much and am so grateful for all the devoted people who have helped me to grow in my relationship with Jesus and establish deep roots in the Faith. I love the church, not only for what I’ve learned here, but also for the many friendships I’ve come to enjoy with this beautiful church family. Besides serving on the elder board, I serve on the Partners in Prayer team, lead the Life in the Spirit Sunday school class, and lead the Monday morning retired men’s prayer group.
Matt Reaman
I began attending Shawnee Alliance Church in 2010, and have been serving on the Elder Board as recording secretary since January of 2025. I have served in various ministries over the years, from Kids & Youth Ministries and Upward Basketball to Missions, Hands-On, and sports ministries. My favorite thing about Shawnee Alliance is that no matter where you are in your faith journey, Shawnee Alliance is happy to welcome you in.
