Abide Church

Michael and Jennifer Probus have faithfully served in ministry together for more than 25 years across Central Arkansas, including Worship, Youth, Children’s, and Pastoral Ministry. Michael’s heart is to teach God’s Word clearly and practically, equipping believers to walk in truth and reflect Christ’s love in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

After retiring from over two decades of federal service in Information Technology in December 2025, Michael has entered a new season focused on ministry, mentoring youth, developing educational and creative initiatives that serve families and small organizations and exploring new ways technology can be used for Kingdom impact.

Michael and Jennifer are blessed with four children and two grandsons. Michael enjoys aviation, serves as a Squadron Commander in the Civil Air Patrol, plays keyboard and guitar, and treasures time on their family farm surrounded by animals, their children, grandchildren, and the quiet reminders of God’s faithfulness.

Eric surrendered to the ministry in 2009 and has served as a worship pastor, youth pastor, church planter, and pastor at multiple churches in Arkansas and the Pacific Northwest. He has a passion for preaching and teaching God's Word. He and his wife Kellie have four children, three daughter-in-laws, and six grandchildren. He loves football, playing the guitar, hanging out with friends, and works in technology at a state agency full-time.

Zachary, together with his wife Skylar, faithfully serves as our Worship Pastor, dedicating his life to leading others in worship. Having grown up in ministry alongside his parents, Zachary has been passionate about serving the Lord since childhood. His love for music ministry, in particular, has been a driving force in his life since his teenage years. The Lord has gifted him with a deep musical talent, and Zachary is honored to use these abilities to serve and lead others in worship.

A natural leader, Zachary has always had a heart for guiding others. He is a senior member of the Civil Air Patrol, where he mentors and teaches leadership to youth. When he’s not serving in ministry or mentoring, Zachary enjoys spending time on his family’s farm—bush hogging, gardening, fishing, and caring for the land. His love for the outdoors and commitment to his family’s farm reflect his hardworking and grounded character.
