Jeff Mikels, Pastor of Lafayette Community Church
Born in Colorado, and raised in California as the son of a Pastor, Jeff came to the midwest for college and received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Philosophy from Wheaton College. But don’t let the degree fool you. He’s not your typical anti-social math nerd! Jeff has always had a passion for helping others get closer to God, so after graduating, he and Jen moved to Denver where he completed the Master of Divinity program at Denver Seminary and was recognized by professors and peers for his gift of communicating the relevance of God’s Word for today both through personal counseling and public preaching.
After spending five years in Chicago as a pastor, Jeff and his wife Jennifer followed God’s call to Lafayette in 2006 to plant a church on the southside of the city. Lafayette Community Church is now a thriving community of believers committed to helping people find full life in Christ.

Drew Poppleton, Pastor of Heartland Community Church
Drew and his wife Andrea both graduated from seminary together in the Spring of 2005 and took their first call to Lafayette in Fall of 2005. At the time, they were hired as co-pastors to help lead the transition from First Reformed Church to Heartland Community Church.
After the birth of their first child, their roles changed: Andrea stepped back a little, going to ¼ time and focusing on Children’s Ministry, Leadership Issues, and Worship Leadership (including preaching once a month). Drew worked full-time and handled all the rest: Teaching, Preaching, Worship Leadership, Visioning, Equipping the people, Administration, Pastoral Care, etc, etc, etc.
After the birth of their second child, Andrea’s role changed yet again. Although active in the ministry of the church, Andrea’s official duties now solely consist of preaching once a month.
Their ministry philosophy is simple: Follow Jesus … and teach others to do the same.
