I was born in Fort Worth, Texas and was raised in East Texas. We moved shortly after I was born to a little community in East Texas called Holly Lake. Before my family and I moved to Cleburne, I completed my junior year at Harmony High School. It was shortly after when I started working for David’s Supermarket. I loved Grandview so much that I attended and graduated from Grandview High School my senior year. I have recently received my bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies from Andersonville Theological Seminary. I look forward to getting my master’s degree in the near future.

Ethan is a native of east Texas.  He has been playing as well as writing music for over 15 years. Prior to his move to Grandview he lived in Tennessee, and before that he served as a Student Pastor for ten years in Texas.

Around here at FBC I am known as Miss Julie, Miss Juju, or JuJu.

I joined FBC in 1999. In 2007, I joined the staff as a nursery attendant. In 2013, I became the Childcare Coordinator. I love the challenge of reaching and teaching kids at FBC. God has allowed me to experience total reliance on Him as He provides the volunteers and resources each week to take care of the growing numbers of preschool children as we love them and point them to Jesus.

God has blessed me with many opportunities to learn from kids…. they are great teachers! As most teachers know, teaching kids is an adventure that changes you forever! There is never a dull moment and always a long list of needs to be met from infants and preschool!

I grew up in Cleburne, TX, and I became a Christian at the age of 8. At the age of 14, I started helping in the nursery with babies and preschoolers. God had blessed me during this time to work with many children and to be able to share with kids the love of Christ.

When I am not serving here at FBC, I am a caregiver for a family and have been for about 20 years as I care for their son who has autism. This has brought many challenges along the way, but it has shown me that God can work through all people.

While not a native Texan, as they say, I got here as fast as I could.  I grew up in the Mid-Cities, graduating from L.D. Bell high school then attending college at The University of Texas at Arlington.  I moved to the wonderful community of Grandview in 1998.  I have over 30 years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting, and I have been blessed to serve as the Financial Secretary of FBC since 2006.

My husband Chris and I have six amazing children!  We have three girls and three boys, plus a bonus son-in-law and two daughters-in-law.  Our oldest son, Zach, lives with his family here in Grandview.  Our oldest daughter, Chrissy, lives in southern Missouri and is a student at Missouri State.  Our second oldest daughter, Cassie and her husband, Reid, are full time students at New England Law in Boston.  Our second oldest son, Tristen, lives in Grandview.  Our youngest son, Matthew serves in the Army.  He and his wife, Felicity, are stationed in Colorado.  Our youngest daughter, Jillian, will be attending Tarleton State University this fall.

In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering, traveling, reading, scrapbooking, football, NASCAR, and most importantly, spending time with my family.  I credit my mother for instilling in me a sense of community and volunteerism.  Chris and I have been very active members of the band booster club for the Grandview Independent School District for many years.  We often traveled with the Thundering Herd to games, competitions, and exhibitions.  It is amazing to me the impact we can have on our youth just by being an active part of their lives.  While Chris and I have recently retired from the band booster club, you will still see us at every home football game, cheering our Zebras on!  We love giving back to our community and wouldn’t have it any other way!
