His desire is to see everyone in our area know and love Jesus and each other through genuine community. He loves sports, his motorcycle and his wife, although not in that order!

Meet The Worship Director
DIANE EAKRIGHT
Diane leads worship on Sunday mornings and has a heart for connecting with God through music. She has played the piano in church since 7th grade - in the old days along side someone playing the organ while singing the good old hymns! And while she does enjoy the good old hymns, she also enjoys the message in the new worship songs.
Diane has been married to Sam for 41 years and they have 4 married children and 6 grandchildren (who she dotes on way more than she ever did her kids - but what grandma doesn't?). She loves watching football, reading a good book and spending time outdoors.
