Rick and Linda
What is your favorite food? 
Ribs

What are your hobbies?
Gardening, cooking, and hanging out with my five well above average grandchildren. I also like driving fast cars and have a 1970 GTO convertible.
What is your short testimony?
I grew up Catholic and walked away from the religion early in life. I first went to a protestant church when I was 29 years. I saw something I had not seen in the Catholic church. That led me on a journey to understand the difference between religion and a relationship with Jesus Christ. I made my first expression of faith in Christ at 32 years old and was baptized with my oldest daughter in 1991.

What is your hope for Eternal Church?
I am committed to serving our Lord and Eternal Church in such a way that we are welcoming in non-believers who experience the presence of Jesus as soon as they cross the threshold of this church. I would also like for us to be know in the community and throughout the world as a church committed to sharing the love of Jesus in demonstrable ways leading many to accept Jesus as their Savior and being baptized in His name.
