Staff at Family Bible Church
Pastors Allen and Janice Speegle
Senior Pastors
Allen and Janice got married in 1975, after being childhood sweethearts. They went into ministry in the early 80’s and became Senior Pastors of Family Bible in April of 1993. Allen and Janice are parents of two grown daughters, both of which are in full-time ministry at the church with their husbands.
They place a strong emphasis on the family unit and they desire to develop a church that ministers to the whole family.
The Speegles have a heart to encourage and minister to other leaders and pastors both locally and nationwide. As a result of that calling, they founded Safe Harbor International Network, a worldwide ministers’ association that trains and encourages pastors and leaders to preach the good news of God’s unconditional love and acceptance of mankind.
Allen has a straight, cut-and-dry approach to his communication that is easy to understand, and is based in the simple truths of God’s love. He teaches practical Biblical truths that help people to experience the fullness of life that God alone can offer.
Janice has a unique and refreshing style of communication that connects with each person in a personal and touching way through her humorous outlook on life. She is undoubtedly one of the best cooks on the face of the earth and her cakes get auctioned off for hundreds of dollars - seriously! She did not write this part!!
Above all else, Allen and Janice enjoy spending time with their family. If you ask them, their most favorite role is being Paw and Gia to their precious grandchildren.
Oh, and one more thing. If Janice tells a joke, please laugh!

Pastor Jill Windham
Executive & Worship Pastor
Jill is the eldest daughter of Senior Pastors Allen & Janice Speegle. Since she grew up in ministry, it wasn’t any surprise when she married Rod, who was then the youth pastor at the church. In 1996 Jill joined the staff and served as Children’s Pastor for ten years. Now, as Executive Pastor, she works closely with her parents to help carry out their vision to reach Lake County and the world with the Gospel. She hummed endlessly before she could even talk, so leading worship is one of her favorite things to do.
Jill loves spending quality time connecting with her husband Rod, daughter Abi and newest release, Walker! It transcends into her teaching… helping people place value on their own families. One of the avenues she utilizes to reach parents is through her popular Old School Parenting blog. In her free time, she enjoys laughing until she snorts, reading, loving on her chewy nephew Legend, cooking, and finding new ways to be sarcastic.
