Meet the Team

  • Patsy Smith

    MUSIC

    Patsy searches out and purchases music for the Adult Choir, Praise Team, Youth, and Children. She believes music is a huge part of our praise and worship, as scripture tells us to “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord” (Psalm 100:1). Within our music program, our practices are often worship services in themselves, and we all grow, share, and sing together for the glory of God. Patsy truly believes that a healthy church is a singing church!

  • Tommy & Sandee Blankenship

    YOUTH

    Tommy and Sandee teach Youth Sunday School and Wednesday night Youth Group and organize all youth events and outings. They enjoy giving kids in grades 6-12 a safe place to have fun in a Christian atmosphere, while learning Bible truths at the same time. The youth are the future of our church, and Tommy and Sandee are dedicated to providing them a solid foundation. Keep up with our youth group by following them here.

    MEDIA

    Guneet and Julie help the church leverage media in a variety of forms including A/V, photography, graphic design, video production, livestream, social media, website, and security.
