Our Elders
I have been a member of Trinity Church since 2005. I accepted Christ in 1976. I am married to Liz and have three children, Nick, who is married to Lindsay, Allison, and Zack, who is married to Annie. I am grandfather to Benjamin and Joshua. I have lived in Mandeville since 2004 and recently retired from my role as a Safety and Environmental Manager at Shell in New Orleans. I was born, raised, and lived in Michigan until arriving in the South. I was previously an elder at Trinity Church in 2013-2016, and also served on the elder board at Oak Park Evangelical Free Church in Traverse City, Michigan. I currently lead Trinity’s Worship Center Usher team.
Before settling back home in Louisiana, I lived in the oil patches of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. I went to high school in Covington, married Wanda in 1979, served in the USAF in Denver, and returned home to Covington in 1983. I was called to Christ in the summer of 1984 and have been following Jesus ever since. Wanda and I became members of Trinity Church shortly after the turn of the 21st century. We have five grown children—Jenni, Mike, Jon, Bonnie, and Joe—and eight grandchildren—Vann, Daisey, Kingsley, Zane, Bowen, Paxton, Lewis, and Rhett. I am now ready to answer the call to serve Trinity Church in new ways.
George has been a member of Trinity Church since April 1998. He and his wife Alice L. Rhode have been married for 33 years, and have 5 children, Hanna, Faye, Eli, Aaron and Rebecca. They have resided in Mandeville since 1986. He is VP of research and development at MMI Culinary Services on the south shore.
My wife Katie and I have been members of Trinity Church since 2003. We've been married for 19 years and have three kiddos Brody, Brooks, and Harper. We live in Folsom on our little hobby farm with our cats, dogs, chickens, goats, and rabbit. During my time at Trinity Church, I've served on various search teams, small groups, bible studies, mission trips and served a three year term as an elder from 2015-2018. We love to spend our down time camping in the Ozarks and chasing deer and turkeys all over the midwest.
My wife, Abby and I have been members of Trinity Church for over 25 years. We have been married for over 48 years and have two grown children and three grandchildren. I have been involved in Men's Ministry at Trinity and have served at the men's monthly breakfast for over ten years. I have previously served on the elder board and a pastor search committee. I am self- employed and do most of my work on the south shore. My family has lived on the northshore almost 40 years."
I have been a member of Trinity Church since Amy, Ella, and I moved back to the Madisonville area in 2016. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior back in 1986 when I was in high school. Some of my close friends shared the Gospel and invited me to a youth meeting. It was at this time I came to understand my true sinful nature, that Almighty God wanted to have a relationship with me. This was a very exciting time that changed my life forever. I have been serving Him ever since. It was in this same youth meeting where I met my wife of 33 years. She had already accepted Jesus and was serving in the youth group. We have two daughters: Chelsea and Ella. Both of whom have accepted Jesus and are a great blessing to Amy and I. I love to serve. This includes playing in the worship band, assisting with the youth group, helping to lead a home group, or helping my wife with the kid’s ministry. One of my favorite scriptures is Romans 12:1, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God- this is your true and proper worship.” I am a general manager in logistics and transportation industry, and been with this same employer since 1989. My hobbies include spending time with my family, playing video games, playing sports, and traveling.
