Lewis KleinerStudent Pastor

Hobbies: reading, thinking, and eatingMy call to Genesis:
My call was unexpected to say the least; I was fresh out of my junior year at Liberty University and enjoying a summer internship when the opportunity came onto the radar. I was instantly energized by the idea; a church formed from the dust by the Spirit of God and the community of the church at Roanoke. I agreed the same night i was asked, and the adventure has just begun.

Family: Two cats and two roommates…enough said
Hobbies: Reading, painting, and pretending to be an extrovertMy call to Genesis:
When Craig first asked me to work with him at GCC, I was very excited to work with him and get him organized and learn from him on how to run a ministry and how to organize a ministry. I was also excited to work with the congregation in a behind-the-scenes way. Seeing people and knowing their names because I’ve typed it so many times and learned about them in such a way that I can bless their lives without them knowing it’s me. I’m very excited to use the gifts that God has given in a way that can bless His children and honor Him!
