Children's Coordinator
Mandi serves our church as Children's Coordinator. In addition to overseeing our Children's programs and teaching Children's Church, Mandi is also in the process of creating a Mom's Day Out program. When you see her smiling face at church, you can be sure that the children from the church are close to "Mrs. Mandi." She is married to David Pearce, and they reside in Munford.

Sound Technician
Matt is a music production major. Matt #1 (as he is known here at AFBCM) is a multi-talented individual ... we never know what we'll see him doing next ... driving the church bus, filling in as music leader, or whatever else needs done. We appreciate his smile and willingness to serve.
