Carol Strickland - Receptionist
On Wednesdays (when Susan is concentrating on church finances), Carol Strickland will be found in our front office manning the phones, assisting members, and handling all the things that go on in our busy church. Carol has a background in business and bookkeeping and brings loads of creativity and insight into our midst. 

Quick with a smile and a spirit of helpfulness, Carol is our newest addition to the office staff beginning January 2, 2019. Preschoolers will be quick to correct you, though, if you claim her as your own. They know that Carol's heart and teaching expertise is with them several days a week in our weekday preschool!

Juanita Simmons - Nursery Caregiver
Every nursery age child who comes through Divine Street doors is greeted with more love and patience than imaginable. Juanita makes sure of that! Her love of Jesus is evident as she keeps our youngest friends safe, healthy, and feeling important. Children remember Ms. Juanita's love and care long into adulthood!

Juanita shares this fun fact about herself: She watches every movie twice - not because she enjoyed it, but because she slept through it the first time!
Kevin Snipes - Custodian​
Kevin's work ethic is matched only by his friendliness. What a blessing it is to walk into a clean and well-kept facility every single day. Kevin is a member of Dunn First Baptist Church, but we claim him as our own!
