We want you to know that we joined First Christian Church
with a desire to serve not only the members of the church, but also the community. Jessie and I have been married over twenty-six years. During that time we have come to realize
that ministry is something we do together.
We are here to serve you, but we can only do that if you are willing to
let us know what is needed and how we can work together.
