Hi. I am Pastor Rick Wise. My wife’s name is Eileene but most people know her as “E.” We have three grown children Stephanie, Marty and Tina and 10 grandchildren. E and I have been married for over 45 years. I was born in Anchorage, AK in October, 1953. In May of 1954 my parents moved to Homer where I have lived the Alaskan dream. Like many Alaskans, I’ve been a commercial fisherman and construction worker. I enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, biking and snow-machining. From a young age I felt God’s call on my life. My preparation for ministry included three years attending an Aircraft Mechanic School in Wichita Falls, Texas where I met my wife. In January of 1977, we attended Piedmont Bible College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and graduated in 1982. We then moved to Winona Lake, Indiana where I attended Grace Seminary, graduating in 1985. I have had the great privilege of pastoring my home church since 1985. It has been a joy to see what God has done. I hope that you will get an opportunity to visit our church and met all the wonderful people that make Glacierview a great church.
