Angie Smith -
The daughter of missionaries, Angie Smith was raised in Nigeria, Africa. Upon returning to the U.S., she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation at Eastern Kentucky University and a Master of Religious Education degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. While attending EKU and serving in summer missions in Toronto, Canada, Angie met her future husband Jim. They now have two married daughters and two beautiful granddaughters. Aside from spoiling her grandchildren, Angie’s passions include tennis, hiking, biking, and most creative outlets.
In addition to being a pastor’s wife for nearly twenty-five years, Angie has worked extensively in retail and wholesale clothing sales, has served as the Christian Education Coordinator at a church in Peterborough, Canada, and is currently the Director of Children’s Ministries here at CFCC.
In her current ministry role, Angie delights in seeing children launch into lifelong relationships with Jesus. Equally as fulfilling to her is seeing adults discover their God-given gifts and find their place of ministry in God’s church.

Lori Spencer - I was born and raised right here in Washington. I come from a large family, there are 8 kids. We all live within 20 miles of each other. I have a daughter her name is Ryan. She’s married to a wonderful Christian man named Bob and they have given me a beautiful grandson and another on the way.
I thought kids were great, but this grandma thing is the best. I love spending time playing with my grandson. I also like to do a little gardening, sewing and some reading. I also dabble in ceramics and needlework.
I started working at the church in July 2000. I think my favorite thing about the church is the people. They have such a heart for God and it shows in their actions. And I have always felt they are part of my extended family.

Leon Basey has lived in the Chehalis/Centralia area for 18 years and has served the church as an elder for 17 years. He and his wife Ann have four children and 8 grandchildren. He works as a service manager in a John Deere dealership. His favorite aspect of our church is the commitment we have to meeting one another's needs through small groups. This is why he enjoys teaching Sunday School and leading a Bible study in their home on Wednesday evenings.

Dave Wahl - I'm 39 married with two nice youngns. I have a great wife. I have been a self employed Timber Cruiser for about 19 years. I have been a member of the church for 38 years. (I have chosen to be a member for about 16 years, the other time I was a kid attending with my parents.) I'm not sure how long I have been a deacon sometime during the Post administration. However the most important thing is that I love the Lord and want to serve him.

Matt Patten - I am a single guy born and raised in Cottage Grove, OR. I graduated from Puget Sound Christian College, and Western Oregon University where I studied Counseling. I moved to Centralia five years ago to work at Cascade Mental Health where I am an Administrator. Hobbies include reading, movies, games, and all kinds of sports, and as most people know, my beloved Oregon Ducks! One of my favorite things about CFCC is the men's ministry, and the way the men of the church support one another.
