Larry
& Debbie Emerson, Senior Pastors

Agreeing
on the destination, traveling the journey
together yet knowing some of the roads have
changed, comes the leadership and dynamic
ministry team of Larry and Debbie Emerson.
With a pastor's heart, Larry is from a background
of living in a pastor's home and loving
the ministry his entire life. He attended
Southwestern Assemblies of God college and
now teaches our church body and presents
the gospel in his unique way - to prepare
us for outreach and ministry. Debbie served
as North Central's Chidlren's Department
Director for nearly 20 years and is working
in various ministries throughout the church.

Paul
& Patricia Emerson, Pastoral Care
 |
"Mentoring"
is learning from those who have been there,
which is how our pastoral staff is blessed
at North Central. Following years of training
and ministry, Pastor Paul and Sis. Patricia
became Senior Pastors of North Central in
1965. Their faith, seasoned maturity and
experience has been a guide to us and is
the reason North Central is what it is today.
They have a heart of compassion and their
genuine love and concern for everyone is
easily felt. Having resigned as Senior Pastors,
they are now Care Pastors and head up various
ministries including Senior Adult Fellowship.
They continue to be a vital part of the
future of this great church.

Our
North Central Pastoral Staff wants to share our
roadmap with you and help you in your journey
of life. It doesn't always follow the plan you
carefully laid out. The blanks are not always
filled in neatly. Finding your way through the
detours is part of the process. The detours may
be physical, spiritual, emotional or social. Don't
resist or resent the detours. They are often God's
part in the journey. Getting CONNECTED with the
body of Christ will help you in your journey.
