Nathan Huba was born in Barberton, OH. Elizabeth was born in Joliet, IL. How they ended up together?...only God knows! Yet they have been happily married since 2003 and have two incredible kids, Ivy and Mercy. God has blessed them ever since they met at Indiana Bible College back in 2001. Since then they’ve been involved in serving in various ministerial roles in Ohio, Florida, and South Carolina.
Now they are excited to serve the people and the community of Columbia, SC. They both have bold and exciting vision for this city and know that God is going to do great things!

Matmon and Hannah have been married since 2008 and have the privilege of parenting two energetic boys, Micah and Levi. They met at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, FL and have served as ministry leaders in Florida, and North Carolina.
In 2018, they felt called by God to move to Columbia, SC to support the vision and mission of Aphesis Church. They bring with them passion, experience, and a genuine love for people.
Marcus & Lindsey
Drummer
Youth Pastor
The Drummers are true "Northeners". Marcus is from Indiana and Lindsey is out of Ohio. They met in Muncie, IN and have been happily married since 2018. They are now the parents to two sweet boys, Myles and August. Early in their marriage, Marcus enlisted with the Army and served for serveral years. His position brought him and his family to Columbia, SC. It was here where they connected with Aphesis Church.
They are passionate about sharing the message of the Gospel to the youth. They felt the call to support the vision and mission of Aphesis Church and are looking forward to what God will do next within the lives of our young people.
Ryan & Julianne
Butler
Children's Ministry Pastor
Ryan and Julianne's story began in high school. When you look up the meaning of "High School Sweethearts", you'll find the Butlers! Shortly after high school, Ryan enlisted into the Air Force and married his sweetheart. With their children, Talan and Olivia, they have been stationed in Florida, North Carolina, Okinawa, and now the Columbia, SC area.
During their time in Okinawa, Ryan felt the call and burden to work with young people. As willing vessels, God has opened doors for them to serve on the Aphesis Church ministry team. They have a deep passion for children, young people, for pet dogs, and for delicious barbecue!
