Leadership

Pastors & Staff

Rev. Mitch Kolls

Senior Pastor

Mitch has been part of the DSPC community since May 2009. He has a passion for worship, youth, and mission. Seeing the people of God from the very youngest to the oldest come together to love, serve, and glorify God as one body is what gets him motivated to give his whole heart to serving God as Pastor at DSPC. When he’s not singing, preaching, or serving, he’s watching Netflix, listening to a wide variety of musical tastes and relaxing with his friends and family. He and his wife Taylor have three kids, David, Charlotte, and Emily! Contact Mitch at mitchk@dspres.org

Kevin Wilganowski

Director of Family Ministries

Kevin and his wife Corrie join us from Spring, TX outside of Houston, after a recent tour of local and global mission work. Kevin has been drawn to youth ministry since high school & is passionate about pursuing it full-time at DSPC! He graduated from Texas A&M in 2016 with the intent of using his degree to help teens grow closer to Christ. He loves to see students ask questions about their faith as they grow stronger and closer to God. He is married to his high school crush Corrie Wilganowski who loves mission trips and seeing people find Christ.
When they are not at church, Kevin is playing or watching sports or playing card games like Magic or Keyforge, and Corrie loves Netflix, captivating stories and being creative. They also have a dachshund named Perry who they love and adore!
Join us in joyfully welcoming the Wilganowskis as they are super excited to be a part of ministry full-time with our DSPC family! kevinw@dspres.org
