During this transition, Mrs. Sheila Turner will serve as Interim Business Administrator.

We are also pleased to welcome Ms. Taylor Marshall, who has joined our ministry staff as Administrative Assistant.

Additionally, we want to honor two dedicated members of our staff who will retire on December 30, 2025:

We are grateful for their years of service and commitment to excellence.

The administration is actively and prayerfully seeking qualified candidates to support our mission as we continue to serve The Master and His people well.

More updates will be provided as transitions continue.

With appreciation,
