Hey! My name is Alarik (all-uh-rick) and I am an East Coast native! I received my Bachelor’s degree from Concordia University Ann Arbor, and my Master of Divinity from Concordia Seminary St. Louis. I have a passion for soccer, brewing coffee, spending time outdoors, and spending time with my wife (Angela), and we are excited for the birth of our first child this Spring. I also have a passion for sharing the Gospel and equipping followers of Jesus to be the Church in the 21st Century. I’d love to get to know you! Don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hello! My name is Carol Onken. I am a life-long Lutheran. Our family members are charter members of Peace. I was an engineer at Rolls-Royce Allison in Indianapolis over 20 years. My husband, Lance, and I have four children (Sarah (Brad) Akey, Seth, Luke, and Rachel Onken) and two grandchildren (Elizabeth and David). I enjoy watching our grandchildren in the afternoons.

Welcome! My name is Natalie Bennett, and I have the joy of serving as the worship and music leader here at Peace Seymour. Originally from northern Indiana, I now live in the southern part of the state with my husband, Eric. Together we share a full and lively life with our five wonderful kids—Olivia, Ian, Aaron, Maddy, and Carter—along with a farm full of cows and a crew of critters!

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Ministry with a focus in Music from Taylor University, and ever since, I’ve been passionate about using music to help people of all ages connect with the hope and joy found in Jesus Christ. Whether teaching voice, piano, or guitar, directing choirs, or leading music for Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, my heart is always to help others experience the beauty of the Gospel through song.

Outside of church, I love spending time outdoors—gardening, hiking, and soaking in God’s creation. Eric and I enjoy traveling, especially when it means making memories with our kids—whether at home or at the happiest place on earth, Disney.

It’s an honor to serve at Peace, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus through music and worship. I hope you’ll join us!
