| Rev. Kenneth Dorf
felt he should attend ministry training studies in Stockton, CA, at
Christian Life
College. It would be life changing for a number of reasons, but one
especially, was
because he would meet his wife, Debbie. Debbie had received her Diploma
from Texas Bible
College, and was attending the school in Stockton to receive her BA in
Christian
Education. The two married in November of 1978, and made their home in
Hillsboro, IL,
where Bro. Dorf taught Kindergarten in the Church’s Christian School.
God moved both of them to
Texas, where they worked as a
team in a
Christian School in Athens, Texas, and later at the headquarters of
ACE, Accelerated
Christian Education. During there time in Texas, two lovely daughters,
Kendra (1982), and
Karissa (1986) were added to their family. After serving a number of
years, in 1989, the
family returned home to Illinois to serve at Ottawa Christian Academy.
The Lord added
their youngest child, Kyle, in October of 1991.
Currently, they serve in
so many roles. Bro. Dorf
preaches and
teaches in our worship services, drives a van weekly for our Bus
Evangelism, teaches in
Sunday School, co-ordinates our Bible Quizzing ministries, and serves
as a Board Member. He has faithfully served as our Assistant Pastor
since 1993.
Not
only did Bro. Dorf complete Bible college work, but he has also been
attending night
classes pursuing a degree in Accounting. Graduating in June of 2001,
with his associates,
he will continue seeking his Batchelors in the Fall of 2001. He is
currently employed by
the Illinois Department of Corrections as an Industry Supervisor.
Serving the church family
in so many ways, Sis. Dorf
serves as
our Sunday School Superintendent, is the Junior Bible Quizzing
Associate Coach, is a Choir
Member, and sings with the Worship & Praise Team. Her enthusiasm,
energy, and vision
serves to benefit the many activities of the church.
Not only did she
receive her diploma from Texas Bible
School, and BA from Stockton Bible College, she has sought additional
training in the
Child Care area. Her qualifications and achievements have put her in
very special company.
Currently, she is teaching in the third grade level at a local
Christian School,
Cornerstone Christian Academy.
