Pastoral Search Committee
Matt Cain
Alice and I have been members of Redeemer for 20 years and are the parents of Caleb (age 23) and our adopted son Scott, along with his wife Katie and their son Zane. I have served on the finance committee, helped count the offering for many years, served in children’s and middle school ministry, participated on the First Impressions team, and have been part of the same small group for 15 years.
Sharla McLaughlin
Sharla McLaughlin and her family—Justin, Avery, Collier, and Amelia—have been attending Redeemer since 2020. She has served in multiple capacities, including the Worship Team, Women’s Ministry Team, and the decorating team. She has also had the privilege of teaching women’s Bible studies. Sharla is a retired nurse and holds a BSN from Southern Nazarene University. She loves this body of believers and is grateful for how this community has been a significant part of her continued spiritual growth and in encouraging her spiritual gifts.
Brandon Geister
My name is Brandon Geister. I’m married to Emily, and we have three children: Benaiah (12), Elora (9), and Steven (7). I’ve been a member of Redeemer for 10 years, and Emily has been a member since she was in high school in the early 2000s. I have served on the prayer team for the past five years and have periodically taught Sunday school classes. This coming year, Emily and I will be leading the young adults’ Sunday school class.
I was drawn to Redeemer after we moved to Tulsa in 2015 because of the people in the congregation. Over the years, many in our friend community have come from our Redeemer family. I’m humbled to join the pastoral search committee, and I look forward to continuing at Redeemer for years to come.
Kerrick Draper
Our family joined Redeemer 17 years ago after moving here from Birmingham, AL. Tracy and I have been married for 37 years. We have four adult children: Allandra Draper; her twin sister, Garrah Welk, who is married to David; Sydney Rippy, who is married to Andrew; and Kelton Draper. You may recall that Redeemer supports the Welks as missionaries in Tokyo.
Tracy and I have served numerous times over the years as greeters, and I previously served on the Nominating Committee. We currently co-lead the Young Adult Growth Group alongside Scott and Nan Hjelm. We have also participated in multiple adult small groups for many years. If voted in, I look forward to serving on the committee as the Lord God Almighty leads.
Tami Roach
Tami Roach has been a member of Redeemer Church since 1989. She has been on staff since 2011, beginning as the Executive Assistant to the Senior Pastor and Worship Pastor before settling into her current position as First Impressions and Events Coordinator.

They are often found on SWA flights headed to California and Washington!

He has traveled extensively and served as a lead pastor for over 50 years. He and his wife, Jan, live in Tulsa and are actively involved at Redeemer Church.
Scott Hjelm
I’m Scott Hjelm, and I’m a charter member of Redeemer Church. My brother and I served as youth teachers when we first started as a congregation. My wife is Nanette, and we have raised our four children with Redeemer as our home church. We are involved in our Sunday School class, Generations, and we lead a small group for those in their 20s–30s every other week. Our church family has been a huge part of our growth as believers and of our children’s faith journeys into adulthood.
Beth Hill
I’m Beth Hill, and my family and I have been at Redeemer since 2018. I have served in kids’ ministry and women’s ministry, and I am currently serving as a 9th-grade small group leader and wrapping up my first year on the leadership team.
