Office Manager
Lacy Velton
I am a wife and a mother of a beautiful daughter. I have been married to my wonderful husband since 2009. I was a nurse for over 17 years, and I recently stepped out of nursing to follow what God has called me to do. I started working for a non-profit organization that helps women coming from incarceration. I also work for a very close friend of mine at her business. I am a woman who has found joy, peace, and hope in the midst of a great storm. I am a woman who has found the love of God in the midst of hurt and fear. I am a woman who has decided to trust God during the storms. I AM A WOMAN THAT HAS FOUND HER AUTHORITY IN CHRIST TO OVERCOME GRIEF! I AM A WOMAN THAT IS FREE!!!
