Our Deacons

Jonathan Hendricks

Families Ministry. Jonathan works as the Senior Vice President for SpiritBank. He and his wife Jessica provide our young families a variety of resources and support as they grow in Christ. Some of these include Couples' Date Nights, Couples Retreats, Family Retreats, and ongoing Growing Families Class Sunday mornings. We appreciate all the work Jonathan does in helping our young families in their walk with God.

Bryan Benton

Bryan Benton serves our congregation as Deacon of Benevolence.  Bryan works at Bronco Mfg. as the lead inspector for their QC department. With our congregation Bryan sees that our member's physical needs are addressed as situations arise. In Mt 25 Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,  I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." As a church family we feel it is important to help those in need, and we are thankful to have a deacon like Bryan to coordinate this ministry.

Kenny Tucker

Kenny Tucker serves our congregation as Deacon of Involvement.  Kenny works as an Automation Sales Specialist for Airgas Midsouth.  In our congregation he helps our members find their place of service using the gifts God has given them. In particular, we want new members of our church family to become involved and experience the joy of being a part of God's work. We are thankful to have Kenny leading this important ministry.

Rick O'Dell

Rick O'Dell serves our congregation as Deacon of Evangelism. This ministry involves the ways our members and congregations reaches out to the lost. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19  to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," This is a command that we as a church family take seriously. At some point, someone took the time to teach each of us as Christians the way to salvation. This is now our responsibility and privilege. We are thankful to have a person so passionate about reaching the lost like Rick to lead this ministry.
