Meet the Ministry Staff (part 2)

In yesterday’s blog entry I begin introducing you to our ministry staff here at Grace. God has so blessed us with men and women who are committed to Jesus Christ and to our ministry. It is a joy to partner with them each and every day as we seek together to meet people where they are and help move them to where God wants them to be. Below are several more of our ministry staff and some interesting tidbits about each of them. In my blog entry for tomorrow I will introduce you to the rest of our ministry staff:
