Rick Vanderburg
Gary Hayes
Rick and Gayla, his wife of 32 years, have served Covenant Church faithfully for 20 years. As the Setman at Covenant, Rick's passion is to see the Kingdom of God established in the earth, specifically in the hearts and lives of God's people. It is his desire to see all of God's children flourish in their relationship with Him and to see them planted in a local church where they can be both ministered to and used as ministers to those around them. As a father of four (Jenny, 29; Kristi, 25; Lindsay, 22 Chad. 19), Rick's paternal heart shines through his leadership. His ministry history includes two years as associate pastor at Sherwood Forrest Free Will Baptist Church in El Sobrante, California; seven years as the Youth Pastor of Noble Free Will Baptist Church; and two years as the Associate Pastor of Norman Free Will Baptist Church. He holds a B.S. degree in Bible and Missions from California Christian College in Fresno California.

Gary and Dayla have a heart towards the children of this community and are very involved in the schools and the community. Gary currently serves as Mayor of Noble. Gary and Dayla run the Code Blue Youth Program which ministers to hundreds of children in our community each year. They have been married for 22 years and have four children Jordan, 19; Megan, 18; Taylor. 14; and Nathan, 10. Gary and Dayla have lived in the Noble area all of their lives and graduated from Noble High School. Gary graduated from Hillsdale Free Will Baptist college with a Bachelors Degree in Theology.
