Newest Member of Staff

We are thrilled to report that Heather Carter is now the newest member of our FPC staff! Heather is a Gulfport native and a covenant child of the congregation. She joins us to work with Lisa Ladner in our Camp Hope ministry. She and Lisa will together be directing all of Camp Hope's efforts, including the important work that Gorton Marsden has been doing so faithfully since the hurricane. If you have come to Camp Hope as a volunteer, you have undoubtedly spoken with or emailed Gorton. He has done a yeoman's job of scheduling volunteers and coaching them all the way up to their arrival in Gulfport. Beginning in September, however, when Heather officially begins her duties (she and her husband Chris still have to get moved in to their house!), Gorton will start handing over the reigns to her. We are extremely grateful to Gorton for his work (quite a bit more will be said on this later) and excited about the future with Heather. Welcome, Heather!
