Favorite verse: Better a day in your courts than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than live in the tents of wicked people. For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord grants favor and honor; he does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity. Happy is the person who trusts in you, Lord of Armies! Psalm 84:10-12
Interests: Coffee, college football, movies and music.

Favorite verse: "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Interests: Apple products, spending time with family, helping with car repairs, & Church
Howard Holthaus
Elder
Favorite verse: "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." - 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
Interests: Listening to Contemporary Christian music, spending time with children and grandchildren, history, setting puzzles, watching college basketball

Favorite verse: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." - John 3:16-18
Interests: Studying and teaching God's word from Genesis to Revelation chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Learning new vertical, biblical praise and worship music. Spending time with my family, especially taking long road trips with my wife, Janelle, is something I treasure. Finally, traveling to shoot landscape photography as it is a constant reminder of the beauty that the Lord God has created for us to enjoy and behold.
