Teaching Pastor
Ross Hoekstra
Hello, MRC! I am so glad to finally be here! Word’s cannot express my gratitude for you all and my excitement to be your pastor. Stacy and I recently moved from Holland, MI. She finished working at Holland Hospital as a charge nurse and I finished up my time at Western Seminary. Stacy will be an RN at the Orange City Hospital.
My hobbies are all over the board and include drinking coffee (if that is considered a hobby?), biking, fishing, corn hole, ping pong, and hiking. I also love cooking and listening to music.
Finally, my personal objective is to serve the Lord wholeheartedly with my gifts; to be a witness to those who do not know Christ; and to nurture those who do by urging, comforting and encouraging them to live lives worthy of the kingdom (1 Thessalonians 2:12). It is my prayer that MRC will be a place where the gospel is preached and lived out, a place where all are welcome, and a place where we use our gifts for the glory of God.

Calling & Congregational Care Pastor
Wick Hubers
Wick is a son of Maurice Reformed Church, moving to Maurice with his family when he was a Junior in High School. After graduating from Kuyper College (RBC) in 1977, he and Debbie Marlink were married in Western Michigan. For several years Wick and Deb worked at various jobs living in Iowa and Michigan. It was also several years of Wick being hounded by God until he finally returned to school, enrolling in Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI, graduating in 1989. The Hubers served congregations in Cedar, IA and Le Mars, IA before Wick became Chaplain at the nursing home in Waupun, WI. In 2015 the Hubers returned to NW Iowa, closer to where most of their seven children and grandchildren live. Wick loves coming alongside others and encouraging them in their own journeys through life. He loves Jesus and loves seeing people experience God’s faithfulness. He’s excited to have returned full circle in his life to a place he holds near and dear to his heart.

Discipleship Pastor
Missy Dokter
Hi! My name is Missy Dokter, and it is a joy to serve as the Discipleship Pastor of MRC.
I was born in Georgia (so I throw "ya’ll" into a conversation whenever I can get by with it 😉 and raised in the Boyden-Hull area. After graduating from high school, I moved to the opposite corner of the state to become a Hawkeye and to complete a BA in History and Psychology. After a 6-year stint in Iowa City, my husband and I returned to our roots in Northwest Iowa to raise our own family. I have spent the last 12+ years on staff in various roles at First Reformed Church, Orange City. In 2016, I received a clear call from God to seminary, and have been pursuing my Master of Divinity Degree through the Distance Learning Program at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan ever since.
I have been married to my best friend, Ryan, for about 19 years. Ryan serves the people of Sioux County as the County Auditor. We have been blessed with three children – Aryana and Biyanca are our identical, 15-year-old twin daughters; and our son, Crystian, is 10 years old. The girls are talented musicians and runners, and Crystian is all about the sports.
My heart is to invite people into a saving relationship with Jesus, that informs how they engage their own lives, others and the world. I look forward to getting to know you all, and ministering to and among you in Christ’s image and service!

I have been married since December 19, 2003 to Jamie. We have three children, all girls. Jaylee, Tessa, and Jenna. I love playing guitar and worshiping our Lord and Savior through music and worship. I have been described as a "life long learner" and love to read books and research various topics. I also like to fish and go out to eat. My goal is to help others be successful in their respective area of ministry and to walk alongside people through that.
