Pastor – Denny Bell
![]() | I am an ordained Minister, but I also enjoy a Masters Degree in Vocal Performance. Music and the Holy Word are very sacred to me. Not only am I a vocalist, but I play several different instruments. I love doing all kinds of crafts, and gardening – especially landscaping, herbs, and perennials. I love being a wife, a Mom, and a Grandmother to ten wonderful grandchildren. You might say that Life is Good. |
Administrative Assistant – Velinda Johnson
![]() | I am Velinda, church secretary. I take care of the bulletins each week and PowerPoint. I like to crochet. Right now, I am working on Homeless sleeping mats made out of store grocery bags. I also enjoy being in the Church bell choir. In my time away from church, I like to watch TV, playing games on my computer, enjoy being with friends, and going out to eat. |
Treasurer/Financial Secretary – Bud Roller
