Ken Wakefield
Teaching Pastor
Bio
Ken Wakefield served as a missionary in Indonesia from 1990-1992, training young pastors on Sumatra and Java to teach and preach the Word. In 1992 he and his family returned to the states and planted a church in Molalla, Oregon.
Ken’s heartbeat was to train up disciples of Christ, to equip each person to do the work of ministry and fulfill the calling on his heart, found in Colossians 1:28-29, to proclaim Christ with all wisdom so that every person might be complete in Christ. Ken also viewed himself as a local missionary and invested time in the community, serving on the city council, teaching leadership courses in the community, initiating work projects for those in need, and ministering to the first responders as a chaplain for the fire department for 23 years.
Ken, along with his wife Linda, developed marriage workshop curriculum and led a variety of marriage retreats designed to challenge, encourage, and support the growth of couples into more fulfilling and Christ-like marriages.
Ken participated in the Northwest Awana camp ministry for 20 years. He taught Bible classes and served as the Staff pastoral support. Modeling how to engage God’s Word, showing how God’s truth comes alive practically, was his passion as he invested in youth and staff and saw them develop vibrant, personal relationships with God that transformed their daily lives.
Ken and Linda raised four children and found the greatest joy was including them in all aspects of ministry, sharing the good times and the hard times, praying their way forward through the lean years, celebrating the times of abundance, providing a safe place to process and grow together.

Krystal Wakefield
Children's Minister
Bio
Krystal serves as the Children’s Minister at Lewisville Bible Church, bringing a deep passion for helping every child know they are seen, loved, and valued. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in Trauma and Resilience, equipping her to work closely with children from all walks of life.
Throughout high school and college, Krystal volunteered overseas on short-term missions trips working in village schools and orphanages, and also spent many summers teaching, leading, and counseling youth at Bible Camps. After college, she began her professional teaching career in the capital of Oregon where poverty and trauma had a significant impact on the children in her care. Teaching for seven years in the public school system and an additional year inside of a domestic abuse shelter created a passion in Krystal to disciple and teach more than just academics.
Krystal moved to Flower Mound in 2023 to be close to family and spends much of her spare time investing in her nieces and nephews. She also serves as the chaplain for Flower Mound Fire Department and loves any opportunity to go hiking or camping.
