Teresa Weidner

(Administrative Pastor)

Teresa was the typical PK (preachers kid), and she has always been involved with ministry in one way or another. From nursery worker to Sunday School Teacher.

She has been Church Administrator since April 2009, and will probably be the friendly voice on the other end when calling the church. She directs the business and financial operations of the church. Her goal is to free up the Senior Pastor so to allow him to do what God has called him to do.

She also helps to equip the staff and volunteers to manage the church ministries effectively. Perceiving her position at Cumberland Worship Center as a ministry rather than a job, Teresa counts it all joy and delights in serving God by serving His people.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

They aim to equip our youth for adulthood, and counsel them through the troubles of the teenage years, with Jesus by their side.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

Debbie Myers

(Pre - K Teacher)

Debbie Myers loves children, and has worked with preschoolers for years. She has found her niche in God’s kingdom. She feels like her class is an estuary, a place where the babes can be loved and nourished with God’s love. She leans into the Holy Ghost, and plants seeds in their little hearts, showing them how Jesus loves them! She endeavors to come up under the parents or grands and build a foundation for these precious children. For such a time as this!

But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 19:14
