The Lord's Church In My Life

I became a member of the church when I was ten years old and grew up in the Flint Hill Church of Christ. I have always been involved with the church and have been leading singing since I was 13.

The work of the church is important in my life as I believe everything comes from God. My wife and I have been blessed in our lives. We thank God for that everyday. We have dealt with many family issues and job change issues over the years and have always looked to God for support. I chose to serve as a deacon as part of my way to give back to the church and help in ways to expand the congregation's work.

Deacons's Role

Bro. Roy is responsible for our teaching program, our songbooks, and service schedule.
