Highlight of Ministry:

Lisa Guernsey, Church Secretary
Life Verse: Psalm 71:23
Highlight of Ministry: Having attended Nashville Baptist Church my entire life, the people here are family. It is a privilege to be part of the staff and have the opportunity to serve in this way.  Music has been my ministry for the past 40 years. Finding out people have come to know Jesus because of the words they heard me sing is by far the biggest highlight of my ministry.

Gordon & Mary Schaefer, Custodians
Life Verse: Colossians 3:17
Highlight of Ministry: Occasions when they have had the opportunity to pray with someone who has wandered into the church while they have been cleaning.  Sharing with someone on the sidewalk God’s love while washing windows & encouraging kids on bikes & skateboards & having the opportunity to invite them to church.

Life Verse: Psalm 86:5
Highlight of Ministry: Growing up in such an amazing church and watching parents work so hard to make NBC what it is today.  Also working in all areas of the church has been a blessing, especially being able to chaperone Youth Mission Trips and witness daughters sharing their faith.
