Our Leadership

Ministry Team


Serving under our elders is a team of dedicated ministers who are passionate about teaching and caring for our congregation and community.

Jeff and his lovely wife, Staci have been a part of this church family since 1998 and began working as our full-time youth minister in 2010. After finishing his degree in Bible and Ministry at Harding University, Jeff has continued to serve as one of our preaching ministers. He and Staci have 3 sons, Luke, Josh, and Matt, a beautiful daughter-in-law, Sidney, and 2 wonderful grandchildren.
