Rev. Rodney Amos
Lead Pastor
Rev. Rodney Amos

Pastor Rod has served in ministry for more than 25 years, leading congregations in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas before joining Faith Journey Church in July 2015. His call to ministry began early, preaching his first message at just 15 years old. He became the pastor of his first church at 22. Since then, his passion has remained the same: to help people experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Rod’s ministry can be summed up in one word: Connect. He is committed to creating an environment where people connect with God through meaningful worship, prayer, and biblical preaching. He values authentic relationships within the church and strives to connect with the surrounding community by demonstrating the unconditional love of Christ in practical, tangible ways. As he often says, “We want church to be a place you want to go, not just a place you have to be.”
Pastor Rod is married to Tammy, his partner in life and ministry. They are the proud parents of Hannah and Joel, both now adults with families and lives of their own. Though their seasons of life have taken them in different directions, Pastor Rod cherishes every opportunity they have to join him in ministry.

Rev. Dennis Logston
Youth & Worship Pastor
Rev. Dennis Logston

Pastor Dennis and his wife, Katelyn, joined the Faith Journey family in 2024. A Blair, Nebraska native, Dennis followed God’s call to ministry by attending MidAmerica Nazarene University. After completing his studies, he returned to the Omaha area with a passion for serving the local church.
At Faith Journey, Dennis wears two meaningful hats. He serves as our Youth Pastor, guiding students in discovering a deeper relationship with God, and as our Worship Pastor, leading the congregation in heartfelt worship through both traditional hymns and modern praise music.
Dennis is a lover of music, dogs, and a board game enthusiast.
Lori Ponec
Children's Ministry Director
Lori Ponec

Lori has been in the Faith Journey family since her youngest child was born. She loves that her children have had so many fantastic mentors in this church. She has taught Wednesday evenings as well as Sunday children’s church and directed the program. She wants kids to come to church because they want to learn more about Jesus not just because Mom and Dad want them too. She tries to make each lesson something that all the elementary children can get a message from and take home and share with the family. Lori has many wonderful volunteers that make this program work.
What does she do in her spare time? She has a horse named Bella and loves to spend time with her. She also enjoys riding her motorcycle and growing and canning her own produce. She has an amazing husband and three great kids. She is blessed.
