Sandy Carter: Associate Pastor of Discipleship
Sandy has been working with the youth in the church for more than a decade. He surrendered to the gospel ministry at the end of last year and was ordained this past April.
In addition to continuing his work discipling the youth, Sandy will also be coaching and supporting home group leaders as the church transitions from Sunday morning classes to midweek discipleship groups in homes. He will also assist Bro. Steve in developing and implementing a discipleship pathway for church members to grow in Christ.
