Leadership

Pastors & Staff

Jeff Talarico

Pastor

Believing the words written in Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.",  Pastor Jeff strives to help others understand the true FREEDOM they have in a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

By teaching the importance of Jesus' words found in Matthew 22:37-39, "to love God and to love people," he explains how these two commandments truly are the bedrock of your Christian walk.

He invites you to come worship and get to know God on a personal level while allowing God to TRANSFORM you into the person HE designed you to be!

Pastor Jeff and his wife Caryn have been married for over 35 years. Together, they offer pre-marital sessions where they use their SYMBIS training to help couples discover their true compatibility. 

Heather Morgan

Worship leader

Heather placed her faith in the Lord Jesus at the age of nine and was baptized in a local fishing pond in Gardendale, Texas. It was not until she went to college that she completely surrendered her life to the Lord and Jesus became her obsession.

Heather married Billie Morgan in 2017. He had prayed for her and she had prayed for him. God brought them together through His mysterious ways. Heather has three grown and married daughters. Billie has three grown sons. They have two precious granddaughters!

Heather has 25-plus years in full-time ministerial roles. She has also served as board officer and committee chair in churches and other community non-profits.

She studied vocal performance, music education and elementary education at the University of North Texas and Schreiner University. She earned her B.A. in Music from Schreiner University and was a private vocal instructor for 15 years. She studied Behavioral Science in graduate school at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia for the purpose of pastoral counseling and life coaching. She homeschooled her three daughters as well as eight other students from 2000-2018.

These days, Heather is focused on Life Coaching and volunteering at Christian Women's Job Corp, Kerr County. She and Billie are excited to be a part of Transformation Church! It is an honor and a blessing to lead worship and lift up the name of Jesus!

Rebekah Knape

Women's  and family ministry

Rebekah is a 5th Grade Teacher at Ingram Elementary School but has always had a passion for sharing her love of Jesus with others.  It does not matter the size or demographic of the crowd, she wants them to hear THE GOOD NEWS!
Rebekah has an extreme desire for everyone to understand and utilize their relationship with God in all avenues of life.  She enjoys helping women and families use every tool that God has given them to become stronger in their relationship and dependency on Him.  

Through personal experience and growth through Christ she has found that JOY is a choice.  Although the choice may not always be easiest, it is ultimately the most rewarding.  As John 15:11(ESV) states, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”  Rebekah is ready to dive in with you, so that you too can experience the full JOY that a life with Christ has to offer.
