ELDERS
CHURCH ELDER, Greg Harrell

After establishing a Rail Road career (and working for a while as an Air Traffic Controller), Greg - along with his lovely wife Marietta - began their own business in 2000, which continues to successfully serve the rail industry.
Upon joining our congregation in worship first time at the of 2001, the Harrell's have played an important role beginning especially during our church construction project that year, along with our many other gifted volunteers; after which they began serving in more spiritual ways by using their home for Verse by Verse Bible Studies as well as through strengthening couples' relationships with the Marriage Course they have written called, "A CORD OF THREE STRANDS."

A year after meeting Yvette Selbin there, they married and moved to Houston, Texas; where Alan completed his B. A. in Theology and they started their own family, having two children, Summer Joy and Zane Alan; who later were blessed to grow up here in Granbury.
