Children's Ministries Search Committee

We know how important it is to find the right person for this position, and we will continue to work until the role is filled. Please thank all the volunteers who are putting in extra hours to ensure our Children's program continues to function at the high level which we have come to expect. Pray about how you can assist these leaders and pray for the committee (Dean Jones, Canon Dane Boston, Bibs Babson, Jane Clark, Emma Dean, Clark Lee, Jonathan Milling, Lucas Moorman, Llewellyn Shealy, Michael Thigpen, Lisa Vipperman, and Stephen West).
