Our Elders
Christ, the chief Shepherd, is the head of the church. Under His leadership the elders shepherd our church family.
Greg Mazak, Pastor/Teacher
Greg is the elder responsible for Trinity’s pulpit ministry. Raised in a Roman Catholic family, Greg was a Psychology major at Ohio State when he attended a Bible study and put faith in Christ. After sharing the Gospel with his girlfriend Nancy, she also accepted Christ. They later married and moved to South Carolina where he earned the M.Div. and Ph.D. in New Testament (Bob Jones Univ.) and an M.Ed. in Counseling (Clemson Univ.).
Greg and Nancy have been blessed with three daughters who have each married and started their own families, giving the Mazaks three grandchildren. Greg also teaches Biblical Counseling at BJU and speaks at camps, retreats, and churches. When he’s not teaching or preaching, Greg enjoys spending as much time with his family as he can, watching sports, reading, jogging, and riding his motorcycle.
Ward Andersen, Admin Pastor
Ward is an elder whose role as a member of the pastoral staff includes both teaching and administration. Originally from Arizona, Ward’s parents came to know Christ through the ministry of a church planter, and Ward accepted Christ at the age of eight.
A lot has changed from then to now. Ward and his wife Donna have been blessed with four children. Ward earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in New Testament and taught Bible at BJU for 45 years. Since his retirement, he’s had more time to spend on his hobbies – things like dating Donna, visiting his grandchildren, and working around the house.

Our Staff
Dale Crawford, Music Director
Dale oversees Trinity’s music ministry. Raised in a godly family on a farm in Northern Ohio, Dale came to Christ at a very young age. Dale has his undergraduate degree in Music Education and a Masters in Church Music, both from BJU.
Dale, his wife Lisa and their family joined Trinity Bible Church by way of Cameroon, Africa. The Crawfords served as missionaries with Gospel Fellowship Association, and Dale now serves as GFA’s Administrative Director. He considers himself blessed to be actively involved in two of his greatest loves: church music and missions.
Dale enjoys being a dad and husband, working in the yard, and talking to Pastor Greg about Ohio State. Under Dale’s leadership, Trinity continues its commitment to worshiping the Lord through hymns and songs that are doctrinally strong and musically reverent.
Rozzy Blanchard, Admin Assistant
Rozzy has handled our ministry’s daily office functions since 2001. Her ability to conduct Trinity’s business with such a high level of grace and efficiency is a gift to our church family.
Even though Rozzy attended church most of her life, it wasn’t until she was 22 that she realized she didn’t really know God. That’s when she claimed the promises of Romans 10, called on the name of the Lord, and became a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Rozzy and her husband Jim are committed to faithfully serving Christ both at church and in their community every day of the week.
