Between Preachers

Jerrie and Gail are a wonderful Christian couple. They bring a refreshing “back to the Bible” approach to worship services and Bible studies. They are an encouraging influence to live as Christians are taught in the scriptures. Pros: biblical, caring, straight forward (you won’t have to wonder what either of them are thinking).

Most importantly was your willingness to come and be one of us. Your organized plan. Your willingness to listen (really listen) Your ability to call things as you see them and address areas that need to be addressed. Punctual. Allowing us to help you get established in your apartment. Set guidelines.

Jerrie & Gail both jumped in with both feet becoming immediate members. They did everything-setting up for fellowship; cleaning up (& we have a lot) visiting the sick & hurting; teaching classes as well as Gail teaching @ Tues./Thurs. School. It was a great experience & EXACTLY what we needed! Pros: We very much needed to work through very deeply hurt feelings and feelings of anger.  Jerrie's lessons helped so much to do this.  Hearing some ideas repeated many times kept those of forgiveness & moving on at the forefront of our minds.  Made it less "consuming." The classes were wonderful! Jerrie really does NOTHING w/o scriptural backing.  He was amazing!  He was also great to include our older kids in the process letting them know their feelings were also important.  They were included on various committees & Jerrie & Gail attended many events where our young people were so as to encourage them.  The were involved in every way! Cons: Even though we were moving forward, I felt we were in a strange "holding" pattern.  It was a slow process & we just aren't geared to slow & repetitive these days.  It worked on our developing some patience!
