She enjoys sewing, fishing, dance, music, and baking. She is a 2002 graduate of the Hearts for Jesus Christ, Christian Homeschool Group, and enjoys bringing up her children in the admonition of the Lord.
Lay Ministers:
Every Member
We believe that every Christian is called to serve in the fellowship of believers. Those who are members of our church take this calling seriously and volunteer their time and effort to further God's kingdom in various ways. We are thankful to have so many dedicated men and women working for the lord!
Elders
The Elders of the church oversee the spiritual direction and affiars of the congregation. They are in charge of maintaining sound doctrine, teaching, and discipline. Our Elders are elected by vote of the congregation; they are:
Jeff Bower
Jack Rice
Larry Smith
Deacons
The Deacons of the church oversee the physical plant of the church and assist the Elders where necessary.
Deaconesses
We believe that the Bible teaches there are male and female roles within worship and the family, and one of the roles of women in worship is to serve the body of Christ.In this church we call our female servants deconesses, however we do not view this as a biblical office such as the office of Elder or Deacon. Our deaconesses provide physical support and oversight of various service areas but especially the preparation of communion emblems.
