I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior at 11yrs old on June 11, 1976 during Vacation Bible School. Because I was blessed with so many amazing pastors, teachers, and mentors as a child and teen, it became my passion to enter into children's ministry at age 16. I am blessed to not only get to love on kids of the church, but also several private schools and now at RISD.

Ms. Chris comes from an extensive background in childcare and her love for littles is evident! She not only nurtures our youngest members physically but spends time praying and teaching them about the love Jesus has for them, nurturing them spiritually. 

"Train up a child in the way they should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6

Janet is a life-long lover of Jesus and a retired school teacher. She has three wonderful sons and daughters-in law, and seven amazing grandchildren. Her favorite things include books, country walks, and family time.

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." - 3 John 4

Bethany serves as CABC's Administrative Assistant, but loves to help wherever she is needed. A graduate of Columbia Southern University with a degree in Business Administration, she blends her skills with a genuine passion for serving others. Her goal is to share the love of Jesus with others through her service in the church and community and by always being available to pray for anyone in need of encouragement. 

Bethany has been joyfully married to her husband, Corey, since September 2012, and together they share the adventure of raising their three energetic boys. She loves to be outdoors enjoying God's creation, especially when camping with her family. She also enjoys cooking for others, doing craft projects, and crocheting. 

""For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self - discipline." -2Timothy 1:7
