This is my dream job! I Teach kids from birth through 6th grade about Jesus, I sing "The Happy Song" with the kids, I train other adults to sing "The Happy Song" with the kids (pop in and worship with us sometime), I paint on the walls, I minister to families, I dream up new stuff, and I even get paid for this! (There’s nuthin’ better on this earth – besides chocolate)!

Chris Hopkins
Youth Ministries Director
My wife and I both feel that it is a joy and a privilege for me to serve on staff here at FBC. As Sr. High director I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with students in 9-12th grades. My responsibilities include leading our students to take the next step in their journey to know, love, serve, and share Christ. This is accomplished by joining in with parents as we point students to Christ through Wednesday Night small groups, Sunday Night Bible study, Pine Cove work weekends and many other events. Come join us on our journey to be more like Christ.

Mark Auran
Facility Manager
As Facility Manager, my duties include but are not limited to: building maintenance, vehicle maintenance, grounds upkeep and janitorial.
We must thank Mark for his fine duties of cleanliness. Have you ever stepped into the church rest room to be knocked down by the pine-scented cleaner aroma billowing from the stall. It doesn’t happen by itself. Thank You Mark!
Sherry Tipton
Office Administrator
I love working at the church, it has been over 10 years now. Some of my jobs include overseeing the primary database, bookkeeping, meeting with vendors, supervising office volunteers, and oversight of general office operations.
One of the favorite parts of my job is getting to know all the wonderful people that I come into contact with around the church. This is a great place to be!

In 1960 Jim and Ruth went to Brazil with a committment that would keep them there for 42 years. During their missionary tenure, they worked with youth, serving as home parents and teachers and administrators in a home and a school for Brazilian children. Their experience also included ministering to MK’s, camp work, conference ministry and working in the local churches.

Becky Kohn

Becky is the first person you will see when entering the office in the afternoons, and perhaps the sweetest voice you will ever hear when calling. Becky directs anyone who visits to the place they are looking for. She also orders supplies, and helps everyone in the office with a wide variety of jobs.
