Dusty has been married to his wife Debbie for over 30 years. They met in college while involved in a campus ministry. They have three grown daughters. Dusty enjoys long walks in the woods, golf and riding his motorcycle. When his girls moved out, he adopted a brown and white Border Collie, his daughter named him Baxter.  

Dusty graduated from Central Seminary in 1992 and has served churches in Idaho, Oregon, Kansas, and Indiana.

Hailey is originally from Nebraska and has lived in the Greater Lafayette area for over 17 years. After moving to town, Hailey got involved with an international ministry at Purdue. This volunteering service sparked a love for the nations and for sharing the gospel. This experience led her to attend seminary and in 2012 she graduated from Grace Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies.

Hailey is known for her adventurous spirit as well as her heart for asking questions. She enjoys exploring new places, trying new food, gardening, spending time with friends, playing games, and hanging out with her dog Daisy. Daisy is a black Goldendoodle who often thinks she is a kangaroo. 

I am a graduate of Purdue University from Lafayette, IN. I started working as an Administrative Assistant here at the end of May. I am hoping to continue with post graduate studies in Acoustical Engineering. 

I have been blessed to serve as Federated’s organist since 2002. Previous travels have allowed me to perform at a variety of churches, military chapels, and Christian retreats over the years. Those fond memories help me appreciate the opportunity to continue my music ministry with my wonderful Federated Church family now and, hopefully, for years to come.

I am a CPA in Kansas City, MO where I live with my husband of 17 years, Nathan, and our 5 cats.  I have been a visiting member of Federated most of my adult life, coming to church with my parents, Orlo & Jillaine Shoop, whenever I would come home to visit. Since Federated started streaming services, I have become a regular member with the online community. In my spare time, I enjoy quilting, baking, and spoiling my cats.
