DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

I have been blessed to serve in this capacity since my retirement.... and yes, that is a lot of years. I once read that "Pastors manage the flock... I manage the resources used to minister to the flock. Rather that's department heads, property, tools and equipment. I help empower the pastor to not have to worry about anything but you." My role has evolved over the years, but the goal remains the same - to do my part in bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth on a day to day basis
