Along with Pastor Randy, his wife Heather further supports their church ministries by blessing every individual she encounters.

Her gentle, caring nature, words of encouragement, and spirit of hospitality touch everyone at their deepest point of need. In addition to her church ministries, Heather exemplifies the Godly mother to her and Pastor Randy’s two sons—one of whom has special needs. She is a devoted wife and a constant support to her ‘family’ that far exceeds those merely of blood.
