  Todd Roberts

  Like many children, Todd was born.  Sometime later, he became the Worship Pastor, Alpha Course Leader (along with the illustrious Sarah Taylor), and an Elder at ACC Sheffield.  Somehow, he also managed to acquire a stunningly beautiful wife, Lauren, and three offspring who–as any visitor to our house will tell you–are not lacking in personality: Weslie (4), Darby (2), and Liam (6 mo).

  Dustin Fancher

  The youngest son of a gas station owner, who ran an oil pipe supply business and mother – substitute school teacher, Dustin was born in Uvalde, Texas, but grew up in Longview, Texas where he graduated from the local High School. Showing little interest in his father’s oil business, which his two brothers later joined, Dustin was longing for a change of scenery, and spent a year in Australia, washing dishes and shoveling chicken manure. Back to the States, he attended the University of Texas in Austin, originally wishing to be a lawyer. But, when he discovered an inspirational Og Mandino book “The Greatest Salesman … [Read more]

  Janette Stanberry

  Janette is passionate about seeing children empowered and released into all that God has called them to, to see parents equipped to raise up healthy and whole children in the love of the Lord, and to see the nations reached with the love of Christ!  She believes that just because children are in small bodies, doesn’t mean the Holy Spirit inside them is small, and there is so much to be learned when we interact with people of different ages, cultures, and backgrounds. Because she grew up in a lovely mountain village in Colorado, Janette slightly reluctantly moved to Fort Worth, Texas to attend Texas … [Read more]

  John Book

  Acerbic.  Obsequious.  Indefatigable.  These are all big words.  But what do they have to do with John David Book, III?  I don’t know. But if you’re like me, and I know I am, then you want to know more about the mystery that is John.  Which is weird, since this is him writing.  So you’d think he…I…would know about myself.  Himself. The facts are plain: born deep in the heart of Kentucky, John is the son of a pastor/teacher.  After tumultuous years spent being a teenager in Vermont, John moved to Texas to attend Baylor University, studying film and television with a dream of directing … [Read more]

  Stephen Donnelly

  Stephen.  Donnelly.  Student pastor.  Lover of God.  Connoisseur of boy bands.  Not really a big reader.  Really into Pilates.  That’s pretty much what you need to know. And one other thing: Call me SteDo.

  Sarah Taylor

  Sarah Taylor lived a charmed life in the Home Counties for 18 years before sensing the voice of God calling her North.

After completing what was one of the most foundational years of her life she moved to the Steel City to do a degree in Sociology.  During her first semester Sarah met the … [Read more]
