Christ Community Church

Pastor Don Kesner is a man who has a vision for Christ Community Church, and for God's Kingdom. He and his wife Myra have been pastoring at the church for over three years and have watched God do miraculous things. Don enjoys studying and preaching the word, and is a firm believer that God wants the church to reach out to the community, and to the world. He has a heart for missions, and a mind for souls. His messages have been described as "down to earth" and "understandable." Pastor Don believes that God's Kingdom reaches far beyond the walls of the church, and that churches should work together to reach souls for Christ.
Pastor Don also works occasionally as a journalist, photographer and columnist for the local newspaper; the Hampshire Review. Some of his works can be viewed at http://www.hampshirereview.com
Don's involvement with the newspaper gives him tremendous exposure throughout the county, to elected city, county and state officials and around the world through his religious column via the Internet.
He has served as an evangelist, associate pastor, youth pastor, teacher and has been active in both domestic and foreign missions.

Michael Cheshire grew up in Hampshire County but by attending Liberty University to study pastoral leadership, and involvement in other church organizations, he has aquired great knowledge of the Bible and also of church leadership. He has recently started attending Christ Community Church and has been a great asset and support to the pastoral team.

Michael and his wife Drema were married last September and work well together with a variety of ministries including young adults and youth. 

Greg Staub is a talented musician and choir director who came to us with a real heart for God and for the church. His concert-style of piano playing adds great depths, and heights to our services. Greg is a valuable asset to CCC, and his ministry is taking us to new heights in worship.Our church is extremely fortunate to have Greg as part of our ministry team. He and his wife Linda are a blessing to our congregation.

Dot Pratt loves the Lord with all her heart and her willingness to serve as a trustee for Christ Community Church has been a blessing. God is leading our church in an exciting direction and having Dot as a part of the ministry team will be just the combination God needs to get his work done. Dot is quick to do whatever is necessary, in whatever capacity necessary, and offers a great ministry to CCC.

Teresa has a spirit that is sensitive to God and she has a real love for God's people. When God put together a trio of able people to serve as trustees for Christ Community Church, Teresa fit the bill to a tee. She has a real knowledge of legal and real estate issues that make her addition to the team a real plus. We are fortunate to have Teresa as a trustee for CCC.

Dolly is one of the most willing vessels God has in his kingdom. She is always ready to step up to the plate and do whatever is necessary to make a plan come together. Dolly's knowledge of banking and other areas are just the right addition to complete the trio that makes up the trustees for CCC. We appreciate Dolly's abilities and willingness to serve God and his church.

Jason has been such a positive figure at CCC. He is a man with deep spiritual qualities and insights. Jason isn't afraid to ask questions or to share what is on his heart, and for that I am thankful. We are so pleased to have Jason as part of the Leadership of CCC.

 He has a real heart for God and for wanting to see the church move forward in a positive and effective way. Marvin will bring a lot to the leadership board, as well as a compassion for souls and will be a blessing to the entire church.

Chad Hott and his family have been a great asset to our church. He has been to Haiti on a number of mission trips, has a heart for mission and children and his skills as a nurse and an administrator have been equally important as part of our church board.

There isn't enough space to say enough things about Donna Paugh. Her reputation and character are beyond reproach and her commitment is unquestionable. Donna wears so many hats at CCC that it's difficult to describe her duties. She and her husband David, and their family have been a cohesive force within our church. Donna has stepped into many roles during her years at CCC in order to see that the necessary things that make a church successful, don't go undone.  CCC is blessed to have Donna and her family as part of our church.

Our church, like many others, has struggled to entice and draw young people to church and to Christ. But, God is faithful, and we now are beginning to see God answer prayers for us. We have had a number of youth begin to attend our church and God is now drawing a number of youth to CCC. Come be a part.

Drema Chehsire is working on an undergraduate degree from Liberty University in Christian Counseling. She has a heart for young adults and teenagers especially young women.

Myra is a true pator's wife with a heart for God, for her church, and for her parishioners. Myra is always ready to jump in and help with whatever is needed. She does the weekly Sunday morning children's sermon, works closely with Pastor Don and directs the Ladies Ministry of CCC. She is creative and innovative when it comes to ministry.

Linda Staub is a God-send to CCC. Her knowledge of computers and running the visuals for praise and worship and other areas of ministry is extremely valuable to our services. Her creativity is a real blessing. Linda also works with our youth ministry team, and is over the drama department of CCC. We are proud to have Linda Staub as part of the ministry of CCC. 

Linda Serio definitely has the best interest of the church in mind. Linda is a rock when it comes to her ministry within CCC. She and her husband Gus give of themselves the third Friday of every month and prepare a meal for the Senior Citizens in our community. The senior luncheon immediately  became a self-sufficient ministry because of Gus and Linda and their willingness to work hard to reach out and minister to the senior citizens. We appreciate Linda's ministry at CCC.
