Preschool/Nursery Director – Jackie Beavers

// January 20th, 2010 // Comments Off // Uncategorized

jackie beaversI am married to Barry and we have 3 beautiful girls…  Eliza, Becca and Maggie. First Baptist Center Star is very dear to my entire family.

If you chose to come and Worship with us, I pray you see and experience why I am so thankful and blessed to call FBCCS my home.

In every church I have been involved in, God has always placed me with children.  Children are precious gifts from God! Each one possesses a uniqueness that is so incredible.  To be able to watch them as they grow and plant the word of God in their life is just an AWESOME job and responsibility.

Jesus often taught the disciples how important children were to HIM and to the Kingdom of God.  Often I tell our wonderful Preschool volunteers that they are not workers, not baby sitters, but missionaries!  This is a mission field and we get to go there every Sunday!  Mark 9:37 says, “Anyone who welcomes a little child on MY behalf, welcomes ME.” (NLT) If children are that important to Jesus, then they should be that important to us!

It is so exciting to see how God is growing our Preschool Area!  We are also excited about the near future expanding and updating our Children’s Facilities. This will allow us to minister even more to our kids!

I encourage and invite you and your family to visit with us and I pray that you will find our Preschool Ministry to be A loving foundation Built on Christ.

Seek first the Kingdom of God and HIS righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33

Youth Minister – Jonathan Johnson

jonathan johnsonI’m married to Renee and we have two children. Ben is our son and Katie is our daughter. We have been married for 17 years. We both grew up in the Decatur, Alabama area but moved to Killen in 1995 to centrally locate us for my job and allow our kids to stay in the same school so they could build long-term relationships.

I have spent 20 years working in the transportation business doing various jobs from loading trucks at the dock to driving and making deliveries to various office functions. The past 15 years I’ve been in management and outside sales. I have the opportunity to work with people all over North Alabama as well as various cities across the United States. God has used a lot of these relationships to not only help me with my walk but also allow me to help others.

Both of our children attended Kids of the Kingdom preschool and through this ministry we were introduced to First Baptist Church Center Star. I grew up around church but didn’t take it seriously until April 2003 when God through several events put us at this church. The day that changed my life forever was during an Easter revival service. Since that time God has begun to help me make up for lost time. God has allowed me to see my entire family come to Christ since 2003 (Thank You Jesus.) I’m humbled and very undeserving of what all He has done. This church has been such a blessing to our family. I want to insure you that young people take things more serious than I did. God has instilled in me a heart to serve others. In my spare time I enjoy hunting and spending time with my family. We would love for you to join us where we can grow and serve together. We also invite any youth grades 7th – 12th to connect with us during our youth services and fellowship events.

I am married to Marlon White and we have 2 sons – Brandon and Bert.  The most important thing in my life outside of Jesus is my family.

It is so hard for me to put into words what this church means to me.  My family and I became members of FBCCS in 1998 and I was hired in March 2001 as the Administrative Secretary.   Even though there are some days I have to remind myself that I prayed for this, but I do feel like this job was and has been an answered prayer for me as well as my family.  I consider it a blessing to serve my Jesus and this church.  My prayer is that if you plan to visit or you are a member, is that you will feel the love that I have always felt by being a part of this church. 

My favorite Bible verses are:

Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

James 1:2-4 -  My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.This verse is special to me because there was a time in my life I was running from God.  I feel like had I not gone through those trials, God would not have be where I am today.

 James 1:17 -Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.
