As a retired teacher I have always loved teaching and guiding children. I feel honored to serve in my home church as Director of the Preschool and Children. I have been married for 36 years to my husband Lonnie who is a vital part of my calling to this ministry at CBC. We have 2 grown children, Brantley and Leah, and 2 grandchildren, Finleigh and Alleigh. It is a privilege to serve my grands and all the other children of CBC in their spiritual development and walk with the Lord by teaching them truths from the Bible.

matthew Bennett

Music director

Psalms 150:6 says "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!".

I have the privilege of leading CBC in worship! I've been a life-long member of CBC and have been serving as Music Director since 2022.
 
I graduated from Wayne County High School in 2003 and Jones College in 2006 focusing on Business Admin. I have been in the grocery industry for 25 years, and enjoy serving my community through my work!
 
From childhood I've had a passion for music. I am not professionally educated in music, but that's okay! God is still using um and He can use you, too.

My focus as Music Director is to lead our congregation in real worship. The heart felt kind. The kind of worship that isn't about us, but all about Jesus; that shows us exactly who God is and what our response to Him should be.
"Oh worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing, His wonderful ove."
