Servants of the Word and the church.
Meet the pastors who preach, pray, shepherd, and help equip the Grace family for life and ministry.
Our Pastors
Senior Pastor
Dennis Anderson
Born in Nebraska and raised near Baraboo, Wisconsin, Dennis spent years looking to sports and other pursuits for satisfaction. He found real joy when he encountered Jesus Christ, the fount of living waters, and his great passion is sharing that glorious gospel with others.
Dennis earned a degree at Northwestern College in St. Paul, where he met his wife, Betsy. After ten years of associate pastoral ministry in southern Minnesota, the family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where Dennis earned his M.Div. from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and became part of the Immanuel Network.
Dennis and Betsy returned to Wisconsin to serve at Grace in 2011. They expanded their family from two children to four through fostering and adoption. When he is not studying, Dennis is often working on a DIY project, outside in the yard, or keeping the family freezer supplied with chocolate chip cookies.
Associate Pastor
Noah Drake
Noah was born and raised on the Jersey Shore and unapologetically loves salt water. He has aspired to the office of elder since age twelve and was later theologically trained by Immanuel Baptist Church (Louisville, KY) and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv, 2021). Following graduation, he exchanged his pursuit of formal education for his pursuit of Kaitlyn. They’ve been happily married since 2022.
In their free time, they enjoy traveling, watching sports, especially the PGA tour, and establishing Kaitlyn’s small coffee company.
Although he has some experience in hospitality and public education, he has spent most of his life working blue collar jobs.
His favorite authors are the Cappadocian Fathers, Bryan Chapell, and Michael Horton.
He is passionate about the gospel’s centrality in preaching, discipleship, and community.
Noah was brought on staff in late 2025, when he was sent in partnership with the Immanuel Network (Acts 11:22).
Our Elders
Alongside our pastors, a plurality of elders shepherds the life of the church—guarding its teaching, praying for its people, and caring for the flock.
Gary Beeman
Gary served as Grace’s associate pastor for nearly 25 years and, now retired from that role, continues to serve the church as an elder. A lifelong southern Wisconsinite and outdoorsman, he gives himself to prayer, visitation, and the care of the congregation, and is often heard quoting the enduring truths of classic hymns.

A fuller introduction is coming soon.
Mark Milligan
I grew up in Illinois and Arkansas and meaningfully turned to Christ at age 17 in 1997, married Kimberly in 2000, started growing our clan right away, and began my steady career in piano tuning not long afterward. We moved a lot in our first years, attending many different churches, and have made a lot of mistakes as I lead us to test some unhelpful theological ideas. That changed in 2012 when we settled into a wonderful church who discipled us and grounded us. We began coming to Grace Church in 2024, and I was ordained as an elder in 2025. We have loved Grace Church. I have an excellent wife and 10 amazing children; all of whom are a gracious gift of God to me, regularly stirring my soul to worship! A few authors I enjoy are Octavius Winslow, Samuel Rutherford, and Thomas Sowell.
