I'm as close to being a native of Myrtle Beach as you can get.  I have been living in this area since I was 8.  I live in Garden City now, with my wonderful wife,Patti, for 23 years.  I have 2 great stepsons Tyler 33, Adam 31, a beautiful daughter Taylor 31 and a awesome son Alex who is 22. 

I'm the Maintenance Director at Beach Church (Mr. Fix it)!

Some of my hobbies are recreational shrimping, fishing, and boating.

Things that inspire me, are working with people who love serving Christ.

God has blessed me to be the facilitator of several small groups, Men of God, Tuesday Group, Central Communications, and co-lead First Impressions team.

Our two oldest live in New Jersey where we are originally from.

Melissa 40 married to Steve

We've lived in Surfside Beach for the past 22 years.

My job title is

Im a retired florist so I do like to work with  flowers

What inspires me:

Changed  lives.

Like our church ethos says changed lives changing lives through a captivating relationship with Jesus. Every time I see a changed life it inspires me.

I've been involved with Celebrate Recovery since 2001 . I lead a weekly open share group. I've lead weekly 12 step groups.

I lead a SALT life group study and co lead the Battleplan for prayer group.

I'm part of a SALT leadership life group.

I also wash towels. 😊

I am happily married with a 23 year old son, a 4 year old granddaughter, and a new grandson. 

At Beach Church I am Get it Done Girl, popcorn popper, bottle labeler, coffee maker,  hospitality leader, picnic planner, assistant to Jeanne, keeper of the church calendar, etc.

What is a (non-ministry related) hobby or activity that you enjoy? I can watch the ocean for hours.  Outside of spending time with my family, that is my favorite thing to do.

 What inspires you?  I would have to say I get most inspiration from praise and worship music.  I strive to serve the Lord by serving people.  I have never been as happy in my life and my walk with Christ as I am right now, and Beach Church is a BIG reason for that.
