Steve McVey

Steve is the Executive Director of Dirt Roads Network. In 1989 he married his lovely wife Samantha. They have two amazing children, Andrew and Rebekah. Andrew, his wife Kendra, and their three children live in Hutchinson, Kansas. Rebekah, and her husband Tyler live in Westfield, Indiana.

Prior to his position at Dirt Roads Network Steve was the pastor of Lamont Wesleyan Church from 2000 to 2020. Lamont is a rural community of forty people nestled in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Over those two decades of ministry, Lamont went from a church slated to be closed, to a regional church. The church started a satellite location and planted three churches. In the process, Steve began to see rural/small-town America as a mission field. 

Fueled by his passion for rural and small-town ministry, Steve was led to develop the Dirt Roads Network. In 2018 Dirt Roads Network started to cast its vision to plant and revitalize life-giving, Bible-believing, community transforming churches throughout rural America.

Steve is a gifted teacher, and visionary leader. He works with several ministries including Rural Matters Institute and Crossroads Farm. He advises several denominational leaders in the area of rural ministry. He continues to pursue the call to "Raise up an army of rural missionaries" by faithfully encouraging rural pastors toward a missionary mindset.

Angela Audiss

Angela is Ministry Leadership Director and Certified DRN Coach. Her faith took root in the soil of rural America. The current of life sent both she and her husband Jason into the harvest fields of Ottawa, KS. Since their arrival to Ottawa in 2000 Angela taught physical education, worked with Jason to raise their three children Lindsey, Abigale, and Joshua, led church small groups (children through adult), developed church ministries, collaborates in leadership of an ecumenical community youth ministry, and recently completed a master’s degree in ministry leadership. 

Angela and her family enjoy employing their gifts of hospitality to those in their respective spheres of influence. They actively seek to live lives on mission at home, work, school, church, sports, or wherever life takes them. She and her family’s faith is interwoven into all aspects of their daily lives. Angela is a natural pastor. She offers shepherding and encouragement to those around her and consistently champions others towards spiritual growth and development.

Angela is passionate about the missionary approach Dirt Roads Network implements as it seeks to “plant and revitalize life-giving, Bible believing, community transforming, churches in small towns and communities”.

He also served as a plant manager of Old Hickory Furniture in Shelbyville, Indiana.   

Doug began taking business classes at Indiana Wesleyan University in 2002. In 2003, he accepted the call to pastoral ministry and immediately switched from a business degree to ministerial classes.

Molly VanZandt

Molly is a Dirt Roads Network Missionary. She is following the call to bring the life-giving, transformative message of the Gospel to Clearwater Township in Northern Michigan. In the heart of Clearwater Township is the small town of Rapid City, MI. Part of the vision for the ministry to Rapid City is bringing transformation to their main street. To do this, Molly is seeking funding for the purchase of a property, which will then be transformed into a ministry center and supporting business where people can gather and find community as well as support and resources in a Christ-centered environment infused with the love, grace, and truth of Jesus.

Andrew & Kara Hurlburt

Andrew and Kara Hurlburt are transplants from the Carolinas to Kansas. After co-pastoring a small, rural church in North Carolina for 11 years, through a series of God-events, they found themselves along with their 4 children, in Lamont, Kansas. Now, they can’t see themselves anywhere else!

Andrew has a passion to see disciples made and Christ-followers go deep in their faith. His pastor-heart often shines through in his relationships and community involvement. When he is not busy with Lamont Wesleyan Church, coaching, parenting, or serving in various capacities, he can be found re-charging in a deer stand.

Kara is most passionate about being a light to their four children (Cade, Reese, Molly, and Maggie) and making disciples in the rural context by building relationships, giving hope through service, and speaking when given a word to share. She enjoys decorating, hospitality, and sharing conversation over a cup of coffee or a glass of (sweet) tea.

Fred & Marvia Miller

Fred and Marvia Miller make it a priority to live each day saying, Yes Jesus, before they know what He will ask of them. They call it Living in Yes Mode, and it continuously adjusts and shapes their lives with God-serving opportunities. You are incredible, is the way this couple introduces themselves to nearly everyone they encounter. That statement usually results in an opportunity to portray the Gospel in some way, as well as to encourage their friends. It certainly causes the aroma of Jesus to linger where ever the Millers have been.

For quite some time Fred and Marvia have walked along side smaller Wesleyan churches encouraging them and assisting where needed. With the restructuring of the Kansas District, Dirt Roads Network invited the Millers to bring their experience and apply it in rural and small town settings as pastors to pastors. That ministry is well suited to this couple, whose focus centers on intentionally giving value to everyone. Theirs is a ministry of love, prayer, and availability, centered on encouraging God’s people. Fred says, It’s important to remember You were custom designed by God to accomplish His purpose,. When your relationship is up to date, You are successful every day by His definition. That perspective has a way of sparking new determination in pastors and churches who sometimes feel they minister in forgotten places. Fred and Marvia see their place on the team with Dirt Roads Network, as Roadside Assistants, and they are excited about the opportunities Dirt Roads Network provides.
