Dennis Wood - Worship Minister

Dennis Wood is FCC's Worship and Outreach Minister. In other words, Dennis loves to praise the Lord with singing and instruments - and he gets paid to do it! He also heads up the FCC special events geared to reach out in love to the Bluffton community. According to Dennis, if its not fun why bother... Christians were meant to be the happiest people on earth.Dennis hails from the big city of St. Louis (St. Louis, Michigan that is). He graduated from Great Lakes Christian College in 1981 with a Bachelor of Religious Education with the intention of being a Youth Minister for the rest of his life. But his 40 + year old body couldn't keep up with his mind. Having "graduated" to working with adults, he still retains his youthful figure and attitude, even though his is in the "over 50" club and claims to be a "Po-Mo" (Post-Modern) at heart.

Dennis has an incredible family. His wife Susie is his heart throb and best friend. They have been working side by side in ministy from the beginning and he confesses he would'nt be much without her. The have two wonderful children: Aaron - an avid musician who is a worship leader in Casa Grande, AZ. Carissa is a multi- gifted young woman who has a compassion for working with special needs adults.

Diane Cornett - Children's Director

Hello - my name is Diane and I am the children's director. I am the proud mother of two wonderful sons, Ryan and Alex. There are 19 and 17 and are 100% boys or should I say men! Ryan is a musician and his gift is guitar playing and he has a real heart for missions, especially oversees! Alex is the drummer of the family and loves drama, funny drama that is. He is also our fix-it man. He loves taking things apart and putting them back together. We are a family that puts Jesus first and we know He has a plan for each of us. My oldest son came back from India and said to me "Mom, you realize we are a mission family" - we are each doing missions where God has called us to be. You see missions is not just overseas it is wherever God has called you to be. Wow wouldn't it be great to develop families to be just that Mission families!

What excites me the most is to see families sold out to Jesus! Our goal is to be a resource for families and equip them with what they need to become a family that is passionate for Jesus, that they thirst for Him.

So sit back and get ready because we are getting ready to blast off like never before!

In January, 2007 we will implement a 3rd service centered around families worshipping together. The H20 Effect is the concept. We want families in the water together for daily cleansing, to all be going in the same direction, and finally to be released to the large body of water, which is the world, to become world changers for the sake of Christ.

Are you in the water or on the sideline? Families it's time to take the plunge!!

More info. Will be coming your way in our children's area website. Keep an eye on it.
