Our Team

Pastors & Staff

Tim Wentz

Lead Pastor

Pastor Tim and his wife Rachel have a heart to see God move in the all generations!  Pastor Tim’s story starts in college.  He gave his life to Jesus as a Freshmen at college in Mankato.  They were the Directors of Chi Alpha Campus Ministry at Minnesota State University – Mankato for the last 18 years before God called them to become the next lead pastors at Sunrise Church!  
 They love their large chaotic family!  They have three girls and two boys.  Madelyn, Noah, Zachariah, Emily, and Rebekah.

Tyler Willaert

Youth Pastor

Tyler joined the Sunrise Team in 2019.  Tyler is “raised from within” (he and his family have been members at Sunrise for over 10 years).   Tyler got a call one day asking him if he'd ever thought about taking pastoral classes.  From there the rest is history....he could sense the call that God had on his life, and he hasn't looked back and loves speaking and engaging the youth weekly!

Megan Gilbertson

Kids Director

Megan became our Director of Children’s Ministry in October of 2020! She and her husband Caleb were married in 2019 and have a huge heart for kids and raising them up to be strong disciples. Megan graduated from MSU Mankato in December.  She was Certified with Assemblies of God in 2023!  In her free time, Megan loves to spend time with her family, sew, crochet, and hang out with kiddos. She is really excited to be onboard with Sunrise and to see kids grow spiritually.
