Ushers Coordinator

John McDonald has been serving the Lord at Spirit One since 2000.

Music Ministry Director

Music has been a part of Tim Kilgore's life since he was four.  When he was six, he used to go up to the auditorium of his father's Church to play the piano.  He began formal lessons at the age of seven and continued them into college.  He also has been singing in Church since the age of five.

Tim received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of four and rededicated his life to the Lord in a hotel room in Paris, France at the age of 15.  He was filled with the Spirit two weeks later, and began operating in the gifts of the Spirit since age 15.

He began leading worship and assisting the worship leader of a Church in Ada, Oklahoma in 1995.  And has since developed a passion to see the presence and power of God on display in every single service in which he is a part.     

Tim has taken over leadership of the Praise and Worship team of Spirit One Christian Center, and feels that it is a great honor to serve the Lord with his gifts.  He has written numerous Praise and Worship choruses and is a firm believer that worship is a spontaneous outward expression of an inward, heart-felt relationship with the Lord.  Thus, most of his music comes through a spontaneous outflow of worship.

He is happily married to his wife of nearly seven years, Sarah, and has a beautiful daughter named Catherine-Elizabeth Joy and a new son, T. J..

Children's Church

 

Kimberly Anderson has been serving the Lord at Spirit One Christian Center since 2007. She is on fire for Christ and has a passion for serving children. Her vision for the Spirit One children’s ministry is to take the children on a spiritual journey through the scriptures, using both a visual and artistic approach. Her belief is that children are the instruments God will use to reach the masses. She feels children are the closest to God as they are the freshest from heaven. Kimberly has worked in a daycare setting two years and has had an opportunity to assist with special events in the community.
  
 The children’s ministry curriculum will consist of bible reading, scripture memorization and meaning, drama presentation and eventually puppet ministry.
  
 “We are excited about the vision God has given us in the children’s ministry. This ministry is a special gift that must be handled with courage and wisdom


Nursery Ministry and Nursery CAC Coordinator & Preschool/Kindergarten Coordinator
 

Jan Beemer has been serving the Lord at Spirit One since 1996. She is currently the head of Spirit One’s preschool department. Jan believes in the Word when it tells us to (Proverbs 22:6) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” She believes this even for our preschool children of the age 3 to 5 years old.

 

Jan’s heart desire is to see the preschool children come to know the Spirit of God in a very personal and practical way. The preschool curriculum consists of; Bible reading time, Bible verse memorization and recitation, praise and worship with their elders in the sanctuary, puppet skits, crafts, and a lot of fun!

 

“Our children are our future and one of God’s most precious gifts. I am privileged and humbled to serve our Father in the training of His children.”  …. Jan L. Beemer

Joe realized he needed to attend a church that read methodically through the Bible, had a sense of world history as well as Bible and church history and challenged him to be a better Christian.  He came to Spirit One because another of Spirit One’s members, Clara Barnes, invited him and told him he could find that here.  Joe has many years of experience of installing and maintaining sound systems.  He has worked for McClelland Sound for thirty years.  He is detail oriented and listens to insure the voices and instruments are balanced and everything is the right mix.

His first purpose for being here is to become a better Christian and serve others.  Joe says, “I am privileged to Serve in the Sound Ministry.
