Children's Pastors
Al & Shelly Gregurek
|
Al and Shelly believe their professional and spiritual experience prior to this position prepared them for the position they now hold at The Ark Fellowship. Shelly has taught elementary school in the Cy-Fair school district for 10 years and Sunday School for approximately 7 years. She also worked as interim Children's Pastor prior to The Ark Fellowship. Al graduated from Texas A&I in Kingsville, Texas in 1988 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a major in Marketing. He played football on a scholarship, ran track and was in the Marketing Club. He is a sales representative for Hewlett Packard in the data center automation software group. Al volunteers his time working with children of all ages promoting speed and agility to help develop young athletes.
Being under the leadership of Pastor Goodluck who believes in the working of all the gifts of the Spirit and who trains and teaches to prophesy, speak in tongues, and heal the sick, has inspired Al and Shelly to instill these same beliefs in the children at a young age.
Their vision for the children's ministry is simple. It is that the children would learn, in a fun way, to love Jesus with all of their hearts and that they would have a real relationship with Him - that they would communicate with Him all day long and depend on Him for everything! |
