It all begins with Jesus! He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end! He is the true leader of the church. Not only does He serve as the example to all believers, He is the source of our right standing with God! The blessings of God in Christ are all made available to us through faith! Do you know Him? Do you trust Him with your life?

He and his wife, Debra, have 3 grown children and 3 teenage grandchildren and 1 twenty-one year old grandchild.

Elders
Our Church is congregationally governed, but affirms the pattern of New Testament churches to be led by a plurality of Elders. Elders serve to shepherd a congregation by providing spiritual direction and protection for the congregation (1 Thessalonians 5:12–13; 1 Timothy 5:17–18; 1 Peter 5:5; Hebrews 13:17). We are blessed to have these three men serving as our church’s elders:
Countless Volunteers
United could never accomplish our mission without the input of many dedicated volunteers and servant leaders. From deacons and deaconesses to teachers and trustees, we all play an important role in the proclamation of the gospel!
