The Rumschlags
Steve Rumschlag is the Senior Pastor of Turning Point Community Church. Steve and his wife Kristi were married in 1999 in her hometown of Ashland, OH. They have four kids.
Steve grew up in the church. His dad, a pastor of a non-denominational church in Toledo, introduced him at a very young age to the truth of Jesus Christ. Steve graduated from Toledo Christian School in 1994, and Kristi graduated from Ashland High School the same year.
Both Steve and Kristi then pursued education at The Ohio State University in Columbus, where they met and fell in love. Both were involved in campus ministry (then called Campus Crusade) and the Columbus Vineyard. Steve graduated in 1998 with a B.A. in Political Science. Kristi the same year with a degree in French, and one year later she received her Masters in Education.
Moving to Mansfield, OH, Steve took on a job as a youth pastor while going through seminary at Ashland Theological Seminary. Kristi took a job teaching high school French. Steve graduated with his Masters of Divinity in 2003, at which point he started taking on more of a leadership role at Grace Fellowship Church.
He also worked part-time with Youth for Christ at a local school. However, through God’s leading and the encouragement of others, Steve and Kristi decided to leave Mansfield in pursuit of building something new in Findlay. Trusting in God’s leading, they bought a house and moved to Findlay in 2004, though Steve did not yet have a job. They, along with three other couples, started Turning Point one year later.
Steve is bi-vocational. He works a full-time job as the President of a mid-size company in the telecommunication industry. Kristi is a homemaker, busy homeschooling their four children. The Rumschlag family would say that all you need to know about them is that they love Jesus and want to do anything they can to serve Him, worship Him, honor Him, and introduce others to Him.
As a child Steve prayed for . . . wisdom.
What most people don’t know about Steve . . . he loves Hallmark Christmas movies.
What everyone knows about Steve . . . he is a big Ohio State fan.
He enjoys . . . playing disc golf, board games, and video games.
Kristi loves . . . all things British.

A perfect day . . . would include curling up with a good book after doing a craft with the kids.
The Ruiz’s
Frank and Becky Ruiz are a part of the Leadership Team at Turning Point Community Church. Frank serves as a worship leader, Bible study leader and sometimes speaker. Becky loves to work with the kiddos in Sunday School and likes to organize parties for the church. Frank is a Findlay native and served in the Navy. He spent significant time in the San Diego area after the military before moving back to Findlay. Becky is a Bluffton, Ohio native and lived for many years in Fort Wayne, Indiana before moving back home to be closer to family. Frank and Becky met in 2010 and were married in 2011. Soon after they decided to become foster parents. Their first and only placement was Elijah and Mackenzie. Eli was 3 and Mackenzie was a month old when they entered the Ruiz family and they were adopted in 2014.
Frank was a confirmed bachelor before meeting Becky and his Mom thought he would never get married, getting married at 46! Fun fact Frank wooed Becky on their first date by giving her flowers and a coupon for free milk that was expired!. But just a few short years later they are a busy family. Frank is employed by Whirlpool and Becky works in the office of a local manufacturing facility.
Their family verse is Ephesians 4:29
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
