Meet The Staff
Rev. Scott Rhyno
Lead Pastor
Rev. Scott Rhyno has been part of Waterline Church since 2016. With a B.A. in Ministry and an M.A. in Pastoral Theology, Scott was ordained in 2008. He is an entrepreneurial and spiritually-sensitive leader with a heart for discipleship and true worship. Scott is married to Elizabeth, and they have three young adult children. Having worked previously as a VP of Enrolment and Development at Kingswood University, and then as Chief Development Director at The Wesleyan Church, it was natural for him to step in to a pastoral role as Waterline entered a season of transition toward a new Lead Pastor. While serving as Interim Pastor, Scott received a clear call from the Lord to candidate as the permanent Lead Pastor. Following extensive interviews, prayer, and a membership vote, Pastor Scott was welcomed as the Lead Pastor in May 2021.

Laura graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a degree in Leadership and Christian Ministries, and was ordained in 2020. She is married to her husband Micah who teaches Elementary Music and Physical Education. Together they have two sons, Malachi ('21) and Milo ('24).
