Rem Dyas

Grace Lakin — Lakin, KS— www.gracelakin.com

Rem (short for Remington) Dyas was born in Springfield, Illinois and from there moved all around as a pastor’s kid. At one point his family moved to Leoti, KS where he attended High School. After graduating, he attended Greenville College, double majoring in youth ministry and coaching.

During his sophomore year at Greenville College, he married his high school sweetheart, Laura Berning (born and raised in Leoti, KS). He also started working part-time at a church in Hillsboro, Illinois as their youth pastor. After graduating, the church hired him full-time and he lived and served in Hillsboro as their youth pastor for eleven years.

Rem and Laura, along with their 5 children (Gavin, Owen, Ellie, Asher, and Hadley) moved to Lakin in 2021 to follow God’s calling to plant a church in Lakin. Rem helps coach Lakin High Schools cross country and track teams.

The community at Grace Lakin is incredibly excited to have Rem and his family as part of our church. What a blessing to gain Rem as a servant leader to this congregation and to this community!
