Senior Pastor
Dr. Susie Shellenberger
Pastor Susie joined Lake View Park as our senior pastor in September 2021. This is her first lead pastor position but she is not new to ministry. She was most recently a tenured evangelist in the Church of the Nazarene. Before that, she was the creator and editor of Brio Magazine at Focus on the Family for nearly two decades, and a successful youth pastor in Arkansas, Colorado, Texas, and Oklahoma. Susie has been a public school teacher and is the author of more than 50 books. She is dog-mom to Amos and Bentley, her two miniature Schnauzers.
Youth Pastor
Dawson Phillips
Pastor Dawson joined the LVP team in August 2024, following graduation from Southern Nazarene University. He arrived at Bethany, Oklahoma, as a college sophomore and was part of the ministry intern program. He served at Canadian Hills Nazarene in Yukon, as well as one summer in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. One of Dawson’s favorite quotes is from Dwight Schrute, a fictional character from The Office: "Whenever I'm about to do something I ask myself, 'Would an idiot do that thing' and if they would, I do not do that thing." Dawson’s vision for the LVP youth department is for each student to grow in their faith in Jesus and lead them to become “disciples who make disciples of Jesus Christ.”
Worship Pastors
Dana & Mike Price
Dana leads the vocals, Mike leads the band, and together, they are a gifted duo who lead us in worship each time we gather. They enjoy gardening (you should see their Hibiscus flowers!), music, and spending time with family. Don't hold it against them, but they're "cat people" who laugh at the antics of Pretty Girl and Mister.
Director of Children's Ministries
Rev. Alisha Johnson
Alisha has served as our Director of Children's Ministries since 2019. She has received her District Minister's License and was ordained in the Spring of 2024. Alisha is married to Lonnie, creates distinctive greeting cards, and enjoys spending time with their grandkids.
