Doug, Emily and their five children have called Daystar home for almost 10 years now. Doug works as a pipeline operator and a Kidz Church teacher. In addition to a homemaker, Emily fills her time teaching, acting, and directing dramas. Faith, home-schooling, and homesteading are important to their lives. Their Life Group will be hosted at Nathan and Shauna Balehowsky’s home!

Josh and Erin have a bustling brood of four—ages 3 to 12—ensuring they’ve got plenty on their plate. Yet somehow Sundays are a serene oasis. On these cherished days, the first order of business is a fulfilling visit to church, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with family bonding and downtime. They’re eager to welcome you into a group that values humor, ease, and genuine connections. Get ready for a Life Group experience where even the hustle takes a breather.

Dennis and Irene have a passion to see people heal from loss and thrive in their life.  They have spent their life ministering to families in transition. They plan to provide a friendly, caring, and safe atmosphere in their home as the group shares with and supports each other through their loss.

Bev and Nancy are a retired couple still full of life who enjoy meeting new people. Nancy enjoys knitting and her flowers while Bev enjoys sports and playing golf. They both love the peace and quiet that acreage living has to offer, as well as the birds and other wild life (and people!) that wonder through.

Jonathan and Terrena both work in education and have 2 beautiful teenage daughters. Rounding out our family are 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 fish tanks and a hamster named Leo.

Jack and Deb love serving and are actively involved with various events and ministries in Daystar. Jack and Deb have been married 38 years, have three grown children and five fabulous grandchildren. Although Jack calls himself a retired farmer as he no longer dairy farms, he is very busy ‘helping’ his son (full time!) on their grain farm. Jack’s love of flower gardening keeps Deb happy with her love of receiving flowers.

Tim and Iris have 2 girls (11 and 8) and a medium sized dog, who can be intimidating at first meet, but really is just a loving pup.  They love coffee, people, and God, and even more-so: sharing God and coffee with people. They are also excited for their Life Group to be hosted at Jason and Rebecca Henuset’s home in Calmar!

Ron and Grace are young at heart but old enough to get the Senior’s discount at restaurants. They enjoy the company of friends of all ages and can hardly wait to get to know you. They hope to provide a friendly, casual, comfortable, and caring environment, where you’ll develop relationships that will outlast the Life Group season.

Cal and Lynda Rowbottom are also an amazing couple and their Life Group will be hosted at Melanie Tyson’s home! Stay tuned for their fun Bios as well.

Chad and Kim Demchuk have been attending Daystar for 22 years and truly love the people in this Church! And Travel… Lots of travel. True story, Kim may have a Starbucks mug addiction and tries to get a new mug from each place they travel to.  When you come to the Demchuk house get ready to relax and have a lot of fun just digging into the word and connecting with one another.

Helgardt and Sanet hail from the plains of Africa where the lion roars and the wildebeest roam the Serengeti.  They enjoy the company of good friends and good food.  Helgardt leads Men’s Ministry and Sanet leads Women’s Minsitry at Daystar Church.  They are ready to open their home to adults wishing to fellowship together and rally around the things of the LORD.
