Announcing Our Expanded Team

Dear Faith Bible Fellowship Church Family,

We hope this email finds you all in great spirits and health. It is with a heart full of gratitude and excitement that we write to you today to share some wonderful news about the recent additions to our church staff.

As we continue to grow as a community of believers and joyfully send Pastor Vargas to his next ministry endeavor, the need for dedicated individuals to support our ministry becomes increasingly clear. We are joyful to announce the appointment of four new outstanding individuals to our team, each chosen by the elders in one accord, as well as an expanded role for one teammate, all serving in part-time capacities. Their diverse talents and unwavering commitment to our mission are sure to strengthen our church family and enhance our collective journey in faith.

Alex Kocman is continuing in his role as elder and worship leader in an expanded capacity as Director of Communications and Worship. In this position, Alex will continue to oversee and enrich our church’s liturgy, digital platforms, content, and other internal organizational systems, all with an eye towards better communication and coordination throughout our congregation. Alex will also take on more regular preaching responsibilities and oversight of various discipleship ministries.

Jean Soyke joins us as our new Administrative Assistant. Jean comes to us with a wealth of experience in education, curriculum development, and church administration. Her expertise in instructional design, project management, and computer proficiencies will be invaluable to our administrative operations. Jean's commitment to using her gifts for the Lord's work, combined with her familiarity with church management software like Planning Center, makes her an ideal fit for this role.

Joshua Vann, in addition to serving as our newest elder, steps into the role of Technical Director with a passion for Christ and a deep understanding of audio, lighting, and video technology. Joshua's experience in technical roles within church and mission ministries, coupled with his ability to troubleshoot and resolve tech issues efficiently, will greatly enhance our worship services and special events. His love for Jesus and dedication to using technology for God's glory are inspiring.

Colton Herb has been appointed as our Youth Ministries Director. Colton's heart for ministry and his desire to see our youth grow in Christ have been evident through his previous service as a youth mentor and his involvement in children's and youth ministries. His leadership skills, combined with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing today's youth, make him uniquely qualified to lead our young people closer to God.

Last but far from least, we are blessed to have Anna Bintavihok join our team as our Sexton/Custodian. Anna has taken on the crucial role of ensuring our facilities remain spotless and inviting. Her dedication to making sure the church building remains clean, hospitable, and inviting is a testament to her faith and her commitment to serving our church family.

Each of these individuals brings a unique set of skills and a heart for service to their respective roles. We are confident that their contributions will help us further the kingdom of God and strengthen our community of believers.

Please join us in welcoming Jean, Joshua, Colton, and Anna to their new roles! Let us support them with our prayers, encouragement, and cooperation as they embark on this journey with us.

Grace and Peace,
The Pastors/Elders of Faith Bible Fellowship Church
