 Don Morrow
Senior Minister |
Don Morrow has been the Senior Pastor of First Christian Church for the past 12 years, coming to us in November of 1997.
A born and bred Texan and a proud UT alum, Don loves his Longhorns (you should check out the Longhorn shrine in his office) and still enjoys that rivalry with the Razorbacks. Don has a real passion for people and for preaching - but what Don strives to be more than anything else in his ministry is approachable and authentic. Because of that, his sermons are often peppered with illustrations from his own life.
The highlight of Don's life is his beautiful family, pictured here on our 2009 Family Mission Trip to Mata moros, Mexico: his wife of 18 years, Laurie; their daugther, Rachel, age 13; and their son, Jacob, age 10. |
 Loy Hoskins
Associate Minister
to Youth & Families |
FCC is blessed with a full time Associate Minister to Youth & Families, Loy Hoskins. Loy has over 20 years of experience in youth ministry, including the past 5 years with us.
Loy's unique blend of wisdom and wackiness make him a favorite with kids of all ages. He gives tirelessly of himself to all of our youth ministries, including weekly youth meetings on both Sunday and Wednesday evenings.
Other days of the week you can often find Loy meeting kids for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or counseling families in the afternoons and evenings. He is a huge blessing to our ministry. Loy & his wife, Rhonda, have two grown sons and four young grandchildren. |
