Meet Our Staff

Here is a brief introduction to our staff members here at Presbyterian Church of the Master.  In addition, we have numerous volunteers who assist in various capacities and are ready to help you with anything you need as well.

Aaron J. White
Pastor & Head of Staff

Born in Florida and raised in South Carolina, Aaron’s journey into ministry began during his time as a member of the congregation and youth group of the First Presbyterian Church of Clinton. Aaron is a graduate of the University of South Carolina and Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. Prior to coming to Omaha, Aaron served churches in Bowling Green, South Carolina, and Fulton, Missouri.

During his tenure in ministry, Aaron has shown deep commitment to addressing issues of food and housing insecurity. He has worked in the previous communities he served to build and lead dine-in feeding programs. In coming to Omaha, he was drawn to Church of the Master’s commitment to inclusion and a More Light congregation.

Aaron is married to his wonderful Kara and together they have two children, Owen and Rebecca. In his leisure time, Aaron loves cooking, especially for family feasts at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and during the Super Bowl. And he’s always searching for the next story to fall in love with! He loves sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, and adventure. If he can read it, listen to it, watch it, or play it, he will! While he loves to listen to a wide variety of music, his favorite genre is classic jazz.

Bridge Pastor/Parish Associate

Cindy is an Omaha native.  She has three brothers. Her brother Mike is also a pastor in this area.  Cindy attended Benson High School and the University of Nebraska at Omaha where she majored in dramatic arts.

After leaving the Kearney church, she returned to Omaha to become a caregiver for her brother Tom. During these years, she continued church work as a guest Pastor for churches in the area.
