Hey! Glad you're checking out the Remedy web site. I hope that this site is able to give you a taste of what Remedy is about and how God is working through the people of our Remedy community.
Do you want to know a little bit about me? If so, read on... if not, then now is your chance to go to a different page.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I grew up on a dairy farm in a little community in Central Wisconsin. I moved to the Sheboygan area in 1990 when I graduated in Finance from the University of Wisconsin in Eau Claire and began to work for Kohler Co. I worked for Kohler for 14 years in finance, sales, customer service, mobile plumbing and marketing.
During that time I was searching for something. From the outside looking in you'd have thought I had it all - great kids, friends, great job, lots of money and stuff... but I wasn't satisfied. I got my MBA from Marquette University - still wasn't satisfied. I left my marriage - still wasn't satisified. I got promotions at work - still wasn't satisfied. It wasn't until I gave in to God's passionate pursuit of me that I finally felt at peace for the first time.
In 2004 I felt God telling me it was time to move on... that he had other plans for me. So here I am with the incredible honor of working for God and leading Remedy. In the spring of 2009 I graduated from Western Theological seminary and was ordained in the Reformed Chruch in America later that summer. I've served at Bethany Reformed Church in Sheboygan since 2004 and am now the lead pastor for Remedy.
I am married to an incredible woman Amy. Amy is an elementary school teacher and is also involved with Remedy and happens to lead the worship band. I have three phenominal children, Tyler (who some people mistake as my brother - I'm so thankful) and his wife Sarah, Hannah and Josiah. The Lord has certainly blessed me with an amazing family.
If you’re visiting our web site and have yet to stop in to visit us in person, I encourage you to do so. I’d love to have the chance to meet you. Or feel free to give me a call or send me an e-mail (920)451-4549 or abelrobert@att.net
Love wins!
Pastor Bob
