Lead Pastor
Aaron Stormer
Aaron joined Frazier as Lead Pastor in 2026. A native of west-central Illinois, Aaron came to faith at age thirteen and was baptized at First Baptist Church in Hamilton, IL. He brings a diverse background to his ministry spanning education, professional counseling, international missions, and local church pastoring.
Aaron holds a B.S. from Western Illinois University, a M.A. in Counseling from Lincoln Christian Seminary, and a D.Min. from Gateway Seminary. His focus is simple: pray continually, preach the Word accurately, and shepherd the church faithfully.
He and his wife, Melissa, have three wonderful children. Outside of ministry, Aaron treasures time with his family, quiet walks with Melissa, a great cup of coffee, reading, and cheering on his favorite sports teams.

Youth Pastor
Jesse Fisher
Jesse grew up just under 20 miles from Frazier. He attended Northwest Missouri State University, where God graciously introduced him to his wife Jill.
Campus ministry involvement, discipleship from a mentor, and a growing compassion for those separated from God, led him to know God was calling him into full-time ministry. September 1, 2004 he accepted the position of Student Minister at Frazier Baptist Church.
Since starting at Frazier, God has blessed him and Jill with 4 wonderful children, who love sports, reading, dirt bikes, guns, video games, swimming, glitter, crafts, unicorns, dancing, and anything else that could possibly turn into a competition!
Jesse naturally enjoys joining his children in all of the mentioned activities, along with a good cup of black coffee, and unhurried conversation. His passion is to provide truth to all teens, leading to trust in Christ.
