Pastor David Dyer is our Senior Pastor, starting with us on February 4, 2007. “I am excited about serving the people at Family of Christ and reaching out to those in our community who do not yet have a church home, and also, to those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” David and his wife, Cynda, grew up in the mid-west, however, David claims native Coloradoan status due to being born in Colorado Springs. Both David and Cynda share a love of the outdoors and a passion for worship and teaching. Pastor Dyer’s approach to ministry can be summed up with one word—team. “Organizing, training, and utilizing the entire Body of Christ allows us to more efficiently strengthen and equip the saved in order for them to reach the lost in their lives.” The Dyers are the proud parents of their two children, Cooper, born December 2007 and Taylor, born June 2009. |

Amy earned a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
What a wonderful experience it has been since we opened the Child Development Center 10 years ago serving at Family of Christ! Every day, I am given the opportunity to share my faith with the students, their families, my co-workers and friends. I truly enjoy serving and am "Blessed by God" to work in the Christ centered loving atmosphere here at Family of Christ. I really enjoy being a part of the excitement as these precious little ones learn new things daily. Not only do I enjoy teaching, I also enjoy motorcycle riding, camping, dirt biking and four wheeling. |
