Our Pastor: |
||||||
|
Rev. Horton believes "the church is the institution in which God chose to fulfill the great commission. We are to tell others about Christ, baptize those that respond to Him, and disciple all believers to follow His commands and His mission." He truly has a heart for missions and discipleship. He is never happier than when someone responds to God's calling to salvation and service.
His wife, Erin, shares a similar passion. She is currently teaching at Franklinville Elementary School and is letting her light shine inside and outside of the classroom. She is a devoted teacher, mother, and wife. Jeremy, their three year old, is currently more passionate about big trucks and tractors than anything else, but he loves to go to church!
Rev. Horton says, "God called me to preach at a young age and I have tried my best to be faithful to that calling. My prayer is that God can use even the foolishness of a kid like me to draw families to the God that loves them, the Savior that saves them, and the Spirit that sustains them. God wants all of us, not just our Sundays, and I hope that we will be a devoted people doing His work on Earth. Come join us this Sunday and see what God is doing to transform lives and bring His people together in unity." |

| Our Music Director: | ||||||
|
At Shady Grove, we enjoy traditional church music, Southern Gospel, Bill Gaither style, with a minor blend of contemporary church music . We highlight the seasons with special music presentations, usually in the form of a cantata. We have a 21 member adult choir ranging in age from 15 to senior adult. We also are fortunate to have singers of all ages in various group sizes. Our Musicians include Mae York, Kathy Martin, and myself.
I have been blessed to be able to work with church music for 50 years with the last 35 as music director. Shady Grove is a special place with special people who love music and good fellowship. |
