He attended Fruitland Bible College, Liberty U., & Omega Seminary. He has six children with his wife, Sonya (Elisha, Eian, Zeke, Zayne, Aiden, Skylar). He spends downtime fishing with his kids, playing the guitar, & perusing used book stores. |
Pastor Shayne will be on sabbatical until August. We as a church are incredibly grateful for Pastor Shayne and his family as they have faithfully been poured out for the sake of the gospel at CFC for the past 7 years. We pray that this time will be a time of refreshing and refilling for them as they prepare to lead us into the next season. Pastor Shayne & his family love this church body, are praying for it often while away & trust that the Lord will use Pastor David, visiting Pastors, our deacons & leaders, in a mighty way to keep Jesus' church moving forward. Will you join us in prayer for him & our leadership while he is away?
