Additionalinformation
My family and I have simply desired to serve God in all that we do, we feel there is no greater Joy in life. I came to the knowledge that I was a sinner and trusted in Jesus alone to save me when I was 20 years old. My wife trusted Christ as her Savior at the age of 7 years old after a morning junior church service in her home church. Both of my children (Baylor and Kenley) have put their faith in Jesus alone to save them from theirs sin as well. There is not a greater decision a person can make then to trust in Jesus as their Savior. My family's desire is to serve with a church that is reaching into the community with the Gospel and growing believers into a mature relationship with Christ. We believe that Grace Community Fellowship is a great church with a focus on reaching people that aligns with my families. I pray that you would consider my family and I in serving through God's church!, Kenley, Maryssa, Andrew (AJ), Baylor, https://ohiograce.com/sermons/gospel-according-john-week-10/, https://ohiograce.com/sermons/john-week-8-tiffin/, https://ohiograce.com/sermons/recalibrate-week-2-tiffin/
