He was raised and lived most of my life within 10 miles of the Highway Church. In 1965, he married Vera Hopper, who was actually born within 100 yards of the church building. They have two children, Stacy and Shannon, and five grandchildren. His occupation is electrical construction. He became an elder of Highway Church of Christ in March of 1987. The image he sees of a church leader is one whose life shows others in word, in song, and in deed that Jesus loves them. Servant leadership is about equipping, motivating, and encouraging others to be the best that they can be.
LEADERSHIP
We have loving elders, deacons and ministers actively involved in the lives of the people that create our congregation. Take a moment to get to know them. Pray for them. Thank them. The task of caring for God's people is a great and heavy opportunity.
