Leadership
ELDERS: L-R: Ron Peck, Greg Fitzsimmons, Steve Jimison, Bill Cielo, Paul Jones, Brad Wayland and Bob Harmon
1 Peter 5:1 : The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed; Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly, nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock, and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the glory that does not fade away.
Hickman Mills is blessed to have seven good men who currently serve as the elders of the congregation. These men come from various backgrounds and with varying experiences, but all have a love for God and for their brethren. Using their combined talents they provide the spiritual leadership and general oversight of the congregation. They work well together and they work hard for us. This loving christian family we call Hickman Mills is a direct reflection of the years of leadership from its elders, both past and present. They are truly worthy of double honor.
DEACONS: L-R: J.J. Woolf, Bruce Bakker, Phil Wist, Randy Wooten, Jon Lewis, Danny Brooks, Aaron Palmer, Fred Patek, Don Archer, Steve Newkirk
Matthew 23:11-12 : But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Our deacons are the official servants of the congregation. They schedule services, organize the mens duties during worship, oversee the physical maintenance of the building and other duties as assigned by the elders. There is a lot to do and these ten men see that it gets done. Most of their work is behind the scenes, but the results of their labor are appreciated by the entire congregation.
Evangelist: Alan Cornett
Mark 16:15 : “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Alan Cornett and his family have been a wonderful blessing to the congregation. Originally from Kentucky, and coming to us after working with a congregation in Alabama for a couple years, Alan began work with us in May 2008. In addition to developing and presenting two sermons a week Alan produces our weekly clipboard bulletin, helps to put together class materials and he writes tracts and articles for distribution and use on this website. He also conducts bible studies and other activities as needed to assist in teaching and preaching the Gospel.
