OUR STORY
Waymaker.Church began with a simple vision: help four grandmothers in a struggling church fight for the eternities of their grandchildren. In 1998, Pastor Jon Dupin and his wife, Tammy, answered that call, faithfully leading the church through nearly three decades of growth, transformation, and Kingdom impact while establishing a foundation that continues to shape who we are today.
In August 2026, David Hibiske became the Lead Pastor of Waymaker.Church. David and his wife, Kendall, are both Southeast kids at heart—David was raised in North Carolina, and Kendall grew up in Florida. Before moving to Virginia, they spent 17 years serving in California churches, including helping launch and grow Echo.Church in Silicon Valley into a thriving multi-site community, followed by serving on the frontlines of the leadership transition at Saddleback Church in Orange County. Together with their three children—Ella, Avery, and Andrew—their passion is helping people encounter Jesus, walk in freedom, and follow Him wholeheartedly.
