Joy has served our congregation as secretary for many years. Everyone appreciates her quiet, unassuming demeanor and unfailing dedication to her work.

Our preacher is a graduate of Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, Missouri and Cincinnati Bible Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio. He and his wife, Becky, have three adult children, all of whom are faithful servants of the Lord. They have one grandson. Gene began his ministry with us in July, 1993. Previous ministries were in Missouri and Ohio. He sings in a southern gospel quartet, The Preachers Quartet, comprised of four ordained preachers. He is a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and enjoys bicycling. He enjoys writing and loves to preach.

 

Eric Dwyer is a graduate of Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO. Topeka, KS is his home, which explains one reason he is an avid fan of the Jayhawks. Eric began his ministry with us in 2008.

Besides basketball, Eric enjoys board games.

Bill and his lovely wife, Belle, moved to our area from Austin, TX a few years ago following Bill's retirement from Dell, the computer company. They exude optimism and cheer, extending hospitality and joy to all. Bill is a singer involved in leading our singing who also assists in various other ways.

Forrest and Ivadel Cotter have been a part of our congregation longer than any of the other elders or preachers. They raised their children in this congregation, and are now helping to raise their grandchildren here.

Forrest is a successful business man whose integrity and generosity are appreciated by the community.

Gordon and Louise Addington moved here after he retired from the police force in suburban Denver, CO a few years ago. Both are involved in the teaching ministry of this congregation. Gordon drives a bus for the public school system. He can play the bagpipe, but is too much of a gentleman to do so. (This is based upon the definition one man gave for the word "gentleman." It is a man who knows how to play the bagpipe but doesn't.)

They have two adult children. Their daughter is married and active in ministry. Their son serves in the United States Air Force.

Bruce and Vicky Wolf have three sons, all of whom are students in college. Bruce graduated from college only recently, himself, having changed careers from being a chef to a physical therapist. He now owns his own practice in Mtn. Home.

Vicky is a well-loved teacher in our elementary education department. She is beautiful inside and out. Besides her real job as a preschool teacher, she has turned her love of mowing grass into a profitable business.
