Missoula Church of Christ

Minister

Rance Schumacher

Rance grew up on the plains of Texas. As the son of a farmer, he learned about the processes of cultivating, planting, watering, and growing. He became a Christian in 2005, and began a life of learning to help others seeking God's truth. After serving as a missionary intern in Zambia for a summer, Rance decided to devote his life to taking the gospel to others. He married his high school sweetheart, Alissa, in 2008. That fall the couple began studying at Sunset International Bible Institute. Midway through the program, they completed another summer missionary internship in India. He graduated in 2010, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Studies.

Rance enjoys spending time with his family outdoors, playing the banjo, listening to sermons, having Bible studies, fellowshipping, and eating pecan pie while drinking sweet tea.

Here's an article about Rance in the Mountain Christian Journal.
