DEACONS

Larry and Carolanne came to Trinity Bible Church on July 28, 2005. At this time, the church was called the First Valley Baptist Church of San Lorenzo Valley. Larry & Carolanne were drawn to the church by the love of the Lord which so richly surrounded them. After a short time, they joined the fellowship and became deacon and deaconess. Larry & Carolanne currently live in Boulder Creek. Their lives are lived in the loving privilege and service of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Larry came to TBC invited by a friend through attendance at one of the weekday programs, the C.S. Lewis book club. Larry began attending the Sunday services and found that the good teaching and strong community of TBC were what he was desiring in a home church. Over time, Larry began to do minor facility maintenance on the campus and help with church family meals. With his background in sound engineering, he oversaw the church sound systems. Because Larry was already caring for church family and serving in many ways, TBC leadership asked Larry to become a Deacon.

Nicholas and Allison Emmert, led by God, found their home at Trinity Bible Church in January 2021. They were blessed by emphasis on the study of Gods Holy Word, corporate worship and weekly communion. After a short time they joined the fellowship and become Deacon and Deaconess. Nicholas has integrated into the music worship team where he continues to serve. They were both born and raised in the SLV area where they currently reside. Nicholas works at a local water district and Allison homeschools their three children, Theo, April and Lucy.
