OUR LEADERS :

Les and Dina Teel moved here in '95 from southern California where they were very active in the Anaheim Vineyard. Their hearts were on fire to help plant a Church in in this area. So, plant they did! Troy Christian Fellowship has grown into a vibrant source of life for the community and beyond. Pastors and kinship leaders. Les and Dina have four children: Angelina, Chelsea, Genevieve, and Daniel.

Louis and Karla Johnson met in a Sunday School class at Bush Memorial Baptist Church in Troy. They have served in churches for most of their adult lives. In 1999, Louis and Karla partnered with others who were beginning a new church in Troy. The Johnsons have a real heart for people in need as proven by their leadership roles in servant evangelism and the jail ministry. Louis and Karla, who serve as elders in the church (nothing to do with age), host a kinship in their home and also have two children: Hannah and Micah.

Shane and Kelly Norris were brought to Troy by Nabisco (yes, God owns Nabisco too) and soon met Les and Dina Teel in the summer of '99. They quickly joined in the vision to plant a church in Troy. They brought with them a seasoned passion for youth ministry and worship dance. To this day, God is powerfully using this couple to make Jesus famous! Shane and Kelly have two children: Angel and David.

Jeff and Abbey McClure moved to Troy in the early 90's to attend Troy State University. After graduation, they decided to stay in Troy. They finally partnered with the Troy Vineyard and were able to return to TSU, not as students, but as ministers. They feel that they have been called to show God's love to the college students through a ministry called Mission Possible. They also lead and participate in various other ministries of TCF, including ACTS Drama Ministry and the Inner Healing Ministry.

Mike and Lisa Brewer were initially attracted to the church through the dance ministry. It didn't take very long for them to feel the warmth and love offered in this friendly atmosphere. In December of 2001, God led them to begin an intercessory prayer ministry. If you look at the news section of this web site, you'll see that the proof is definitely in the making! Mike and Lisa have two children: Kim and Stephanie.
