Rick Weiss

Rick Weiss joined the staff of Impact Christian Church in 1992. Rick is a native of Pittsburgh and served as Director of "His Place", an inner-city outreach effort of the Pittsburgh area churches for fifteen years before becoming our full-time Children's Minister. Rick and his wife, Debe (who now directs the work of "His Place") have been married since 1975 and have two college-age sons, Jamie and Stephen. Rick became a Christian while he was a college student studying art and he has continued to use a variety of creative methods (music, puppets, skits and video) to share the message he hopes all children will hear, "God loves you and we do, too!"
