Jo Marie lives in Dickinson with her husband, Ryan, and their two daughters.  They own and operate a grain farm, growing wheat, corn, and sunflowers.  Jo Marie has a passion for fitness, nutrition, and sharing the Gospel.  She also loves coffee and visiting with friends; she will never turn down an extra hot latte.  Currently, she teaches fitness classes at the West River Community Center and serves as a commissioner on the Dickinson Parks and Recreation Board.  One of her favorite Bible verses is Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Hey there!  My name is Carol. I’m a wife, mama, friend and lover of life. I love finding joy in simple things:  coffee, sunshine and all things chocolate.  Getting my hands in fresh dirt and planting flowers is one of my favorite pastimes as well as any time surrounded by my children. I've found personal healing and steadfast hope in the pages of Scripture. I have a great desire for women to truly experience the love of God.  A favorite bible verse of mine is Ephesians 3:19-20 "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us"

In the early morning hours, you’ll find Cheryl sitting in the corner of her couch having devotions. “Experiencing the peaceful presence of the Lord is the best way to begin my day.”  Although quiet natured, she is energized by people, especially young children. Maybe because she was an elementary teacher for over 33 years. In retirement, serving others by subbing and volunteering at the Infusion Center has been very fulfilling. Country living suits her especially in the summer when she can take her coffee mug in hand and enjoy her daily flower tour. Cheryl is married to Kevin and they have two adult children: Landon and Heather.   Her favorite Bible verse is Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is with you.  He is mighty to save you, he will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

Stacey has been married to Tim for 42 years. They have 3 adult children, 2 son’s-in-law and 6 grandkiddos who all live in North Dakota.

Bible Study, Christ-centered mentoring, prayer and good conversations with family & friends are part of what Stacey most cherishes in her life. Playing pickleball is a new pastime Stacey enjoys with a great group of women in town. She is thankful to be a part of The Gathering Place and all God has in store for the women of Dickinson ND and the surrounding area. Her favorite Bible verse is 2 Corinthians 5:7 "for we walk by faith, not by sight."
