Children's Pastors
The same week Eddie and Elinor started praying for children, the Lord quickly responded. He gave them 60 kids by calling them to Children's Ministry in 2007. Though they had a background in youth ministry, they met a need and became the interim children's pastors. However, God had other plans and quickly gave them a deep rooted desire to work with kids and not just "fill in." They knew children's ministry was God's will for them so they remain the children's pastors of Hosanna Church. They have a great team of volunteers who help make Diverse City Kids Ministries a success. They are firm believers that "Teamwork makes the Dream work."
You'll often see Mr. Eddie in a clown suit telling a Bible story using gospel illusion. Mr. Eddie is also the Royal Rangers Commander. With his military background in the Marines, you'll find our boys on Sunday night chopping wood, reciting their pledges, climbing up trees, working on a craft, roasting marshmallow, cooking hotdogs, or learning an amazing Bible story that will instill godly virtues in our young men.
Mrs. Elinor is a 2003 graduate of School of Urban Missions with a degree in Biblical Studies. She serves full-time at Hosanna Church as Children's/Communications Pastor as well as assists in other areas of ministry. You'll find Mrs. Elinor excited about Diverse City Kids and above all excited about Jesus!
