  Rev. Kenneth & Debbie Dorf
 






 
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.
