What We Believe About Pastors and Elders
Coming Soon!
Pastor Ray Muenich
Pastor Ray Muenich has been serving Fellowship since 1988. He came from New Braunfels to Aggieland both to study education and to run track. He became a Christian through the ministry of this church while he was a student at Texas A&M. After coming to know Jesus, running for Christ and helping others to run for Him became the focus of his life.
Before his ordination as a pastor, Ray owned a construction business. Ray leads the church by building into the lives of other leaders and by teaching and preaching the Word on Sundays and in various classes.
Ray and his wife, Tammy, are the proud parents of seven children ranging in age from post-college to junior high. Each one has been homeschooled until high school.
Pastor Rodger Lewis
Pastor Rodger Lewis was ordained in 1996. Prior to that he served for fifteen years as the faculty advisor to our student ministry and in other roles in the church. He became a Christian at a young age, as his family was in Baptist churches in San Antonio. His commitment to the Jesus' Great Commission (Mat. 28:18-20) became a lifelong pursuit after being in Campus Crusade for Christ while a student at Texas A&M.
Rodger attended Wheaton College Graduate School, and then taught journalism at Texas A&M and worked at KAMU-TV for about 20 years before God led him into pastoring. He serves the church by teaching both on Sundays and in various classes, and oversees church administration. He also leads outreach to Latin American international students and short-term missions.
Rodger and his wife, Dr. Cheri Lewis, have two young children.
Pastor John
Pastor John has been on staff with Great Commission Ministries (GCM) since January 1993 and was ordained as a Fellowship Church pastor in 2002. Though involved with many elements of church life at Fellowship, his primary role is to serve as the East Asia Student Ministry and East Asia Missions Director. John also partners with pastors and ministry leaders nationwide to foster and support International Student Ministries and coordinated missions mobization.
John put his faith in Jesus Christ through the ministry of Fellowship Church in 1984 while attending school at Texas A&M (Class of '86). After finding life in Christ and leaving school for a few years, the Lord led him to return to A&M, graduate with a BBA in Finance, and go into full-time ministry with GCM to reach out to college youth. After particpating in Short-term Mission trips to the former Soviet Union, God kindled a desire for the nations in his heart that soon led him into full-time international ministry.

Steve worked for two years in outside sales before coming on staff at Fellowship full-time in 1993 as a college minister. in 1996 he received a Christian Worker's Certificate from Moody Bible Institute. In 1997 Steve led a seven person team from Fellowship to plant a campus church at the UCF in Orlando, Florida.
