How did you first start coming to HCKB?
Cas and I started attending HCKB in 1994. I wasn’t really looking for a church but used to see cars with hope chapel bumper stickers. At the time, there were no churches with bumper stickers so I decided they must be a cult. 
) But then when we had decided to attend church, I looked in the yellow pages (no web stuff back then!) and found Hope Chapel. So we decided to just give HCKB a try and we have been in the HCKB family ever since the first Sunday we attended….I also realized that HCKB is not a cult! )
What is one thing that you love about HCKB?
I love the people.
What do you love most about working for HCKB?
I work in a Christian environment where we put God first and biblical principles are applied for all work situations.
Who is the most influential person in your life?
Aside from God, my husband Cas.
