Daniel Flemming – Apostolic Bible Institute/Church

Pastor Daniel and Amanda Flemming truly are the epitome of excellence in pastoring. In my entire life, I have never felt so loved by the pastor of my church. I had been helping in ministry with another church for a few years and felt led that my time there had come to an end. I looked and looked for a church to become a member of, but it just never felt right. But, I felt drawn to the church of my childhood and part of my adult life. They recently had received a new pastor so I met with Pastor Daniel & his precious wife, Amanda, after church one Sunday morning. After a long conversation of me telling them my history, basically, with tears in his eyes, Pastor Daniel extended his hand to me and said, “Welcome home, Deb!” I have found those were not empty words. They CONSISTENTLY show love to me and accept me as I am and where I am in this journey. The church already has their same personality traits of being a warm, loving, and friendly church. I watch and see that they are the same with everyone as they give their time to anyone who needs it, for as long as they need it, even if it means being late for, or missing an event entirely. Pastor Daniel truly is a God-like shepherd as he watches and looks carefully after his sheep, and I have seen no favoritism, one sheep over another sheep. They, we, are all loved and cared for alike! Prior to coming here, Pastor Daniel held the highest organizational position in the state in which they moved here from, so he was kind of a big deal, you could say. But, his humility is worn like a cloak, and his wife, Amanda, equally so. They will welcome anyone and everyone to come home, whether they were a member in the past or someone that’s looking for a great church family, who has an INCREDIBLE, loving pastor. Oh, and the icing on the cake? He is the absolutely BEST preacher and delivers God’s Word with clarity and with the powerful anointing of God, while he compassionately reaches for each person individually, and receives them without condemnation. Thank you, Pastor Daniel & Amanda Flemming for being who you are! I love you!

Pastor Joshua is caring and intentional about building relationships with the people in our congregation. He’s only been with us a little over a year but he already knows most of the congregation well. He takes his role as Shepherd seriously and reaches out to help when anyone is going through something. His sermons are inspiring and Biblically based and he is authentic as he shares them. We’re so grateful to have him as our pastor!

Andrew Johnson dreamt of being a pastor, but that changed when he saw the opportunity to be a Chick-fil-A Franchise Owner. Today, Andrew loves being a Franchise Owner and the impact on his Chick-fil-A team plus the community while still having time with his family.

Emily joined Chick-fil-A part time as part of a school program that we partner with. It is designed for kids with special needs to help them grow with life skills. Emily started her career with us by only delivering meals to our guests. She was extremely shy and lacked confidence to complete basic tasks but has huge desire and a servant heart that shines bright! October will mark Emily’s four year anniversary with Chick-fil-A. In those four years, Emily has graduated from high school, learned how to put all the correct items into a bag for the guests, make shakes, prepare drinks, serve our guests at the drive-thru window, and is one of our top performing order takers in the drive thru. Emily loves a good contest and usually hands down wins them. There is no mountain too high for Emily. She embraces any challenge with a smile while pushing herself to be better every day. So many lessons have been learned from working alongside Emily. She continues to amaze and brighten our days.

Elizabeth didn’t know that joyfully cleaning tables at Chick-fil-A as a 14 year old would lead to a college internship and a career as Director of Marketing with Chick-fil-A. Elizabeth recommends Chick-fil-A to anyone looking for growth opportunities and a positive work environment.
