George Fletcher: Born and raised on the mission field, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior when I was a young child. During my freshman year at boarding school I had a spiritual awakening where I realized my depravity and what it is that Jesus has done for me. Now married 21 years and father to four, I love God’s Word and how He speaks to us through all of scripture. “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.” Deut. 32:46-47a My desire, as a PBC elder, is to serve the body with the gifts God has given me.

Larry Foster: Growing up in a Christian home, I trusted Jesus Christ at the age of 15, but did not truly understand about surrendering my life to Him until my late 20’s.  My wife Courtney and I have been married 22 years.  Before moving to Purcellville, we lived in Sterling VA and attended Faith Bible Church where we both served in the Music and Children’s Ministries.  I believe God called me to Purcellville Baptist first in membership and by actively serving Him on the Magnification Team, Men’s Ministry, World Missions Team and most recently the Deacon Board.  I’m blessed to be the father of 8 wonderful children: Justin 24, Geoff 20, Brad 18, Malaney 14, Ruby 11, Timothy 9, Nathan 2, and Liliana 8 months.  God has given me a passion to serve Him at PBC and to encourage others to do the same.  Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

Paul Krumpe: I grew up in a Christian home, praying to receive Christ at the age of 4. My father was in full-time church ministry, and I was surrounded by many positive influences. In college, my wife, Jodie and I were drawn together by the communication to one another of our faiths in Christ and our passions for service and ministry.  We moved to Virginia from California in 1989, and have been in Purcellville and attending PBC with our 2 children, Garrett and Molly, since 2002. The focus of our ministry passion and activity has been primarily with youth, and we currently host a high school Bible study in our home.  I am humbled to have an opportunity to participate in the ministry at PBC in the role of elder, and I am excited to take part in and contribute to, in God’s strength, the church’s continued growth in maturity and outreach to our community and to the world.

Mike McHenry: grew up in Sterling Park Baptist Church and came to know the Lord as his personal Savior at the age of 15. “It was clear to me that accepting Jesus Christ as my personal Savior was the only way to secure my eternal destiny in heaven. God’s grace and gift of Salvation were absolutely free, all I had to do was accept that gift.” Mike has previously served at Christian Fellowship Church in Ashburn, VA as a Ministry Leader for the Singles Ministry, an Usher, Board Member and Trustee. After coming to PBC back in the summer of 2004, Mike has continued his service as teacher/leader for the Jr and now Sr High guys Sunday school classes, as an Usher and now as a member of the Deacon Body. Attending and serving along side Mike in various ministries are his wife Tammy, son Kyle and daughter Karlee, all of whom know and love the Lord as their personal savior. A guiding scripture for Mike and Tammy's lives is Proverbs 3: 5 – 6 ” Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
