Cory brought a message to WCBC youth on Wednesday night, October 1, at 6:15 p.m., and youth parents had the opportunity to meet Cory and ask any questions of him, following the youth service. He shared his testimony during the Sunday morning worship service on October 5, and the church voted on the joint recommendation from the Youth and Personnel Committees, and Bro. Robbie, at the close of the service. The result was unanimous in favor of calling him to serve with us at Walnut Creek and Cory started immediately.

Rick is a retired husband, father, and grandfather. He does some consulting work, but devotes most of his time to family and WCBC. He serves our LORD by serving His church orchestrating praise and worship consisting of both old hymns and contemporary Christian music meeting the needs of the entire congregation during every service. The Holy Spirit works in a mighty way!

Kenley and her family are also looking forward to meeting their newest family member in April 2022.
