Melissa’s Story

I’ve always been a church attendee, however, my work required me to travel nationally and internationally. I attended church wherever I was physically, but found it difficult to engage with others in a deeper capacity. Things really changed when I met my husband [Chris Elder] in 2012. In our early days, we took turns visiting each other’s churches. I was so happy to see Chris was being nurtured and strengthened in a spirit-filled church! I began attending with him and became a Dream Team member shortly after.

I love people, I’m very much a people person, and when I came to Experience Church I was thrilled to see how well this church was reaching out, internationally, and seeing the love that radiated through this building every time I walked through the front doors.

How my life has changed since being at Experience Church? I’m plugged in! I cannot imagine NOT serving alongside amazing Jesus loving people! I don’t travel much anymore but I would sure work things out so that I could still engage on the days I’m able to. Being engaged has helped our family and faith grow! We are able to pass along what we’ve learned to others, so, I’m so thrilled to see how God is working in and through us!
