On Sunday, September 27, IBC ordained four new Deacons to serve in our Deacon body: Cheryl Dooley, Shelley Lewis, Becke McGaughey, and Valerie Sommerfield. These women represent some of our newest and longest-term members, and all bring a love for this church and the surrounding community to their service.
The Installation service was a joyful celebration. Some of our founding “cradle roll” members declared, “we believe this was the loudest laying on of hands we’ve ever had!” If the service was any indication, the Spirit is on the move through these women, providing the church with new energy. We are so excited to see their servant leadership unfold.
