Pastors Geno and Shannon Olison moved to the Homewood-Flossmoor area from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in June of 2009 to start the South Suburban Vineyard Church. Since that time, they, along with a fabulous team of individuals, have been building a church from the ground up.

This means they have a lot of fun, work hard, and love seeing lives changed, including their own. They have seen the church grow from meetings of 15 people to small groups to a Sunday morning church service.

Geno and Shannon have four sons. Their entire family is very active in the H-F community!
