Music Director & Treasurer Donnie Lambert and his wife Tonda our Pianist

Brother Donnie has served at EGRBC with his wife Tonda in many different capacities. Tonda grew up around EGRBC all her life. After the passing of our long time pianist Becky Taylor, Sister Tonda took the reigns at piano for our church. We greatly appreciate her using our talents for the Lord. Then from Sunday school to Treasurer Br. Donnie has just about done it all. He is a great preacher and has helped fill in for our Pastor whenever needed. They have been a great blessing to our church family for over 20 years.

Deacon Bobby Ussery and his wife Jo

Brother Bobby & Sis. Jo have been members of EGRBC for over 50 years. Bobby has served as Deacon many times during that time span. Br. Bobby has probably mowed a million miles of lawn on our property as well. They both have faithfully demonstrated a true servants heart in all the various ministries of our church.

Organist Virginia Maurer

Sister Virginia has been a faithful member here at EGRBC for several years now. She happily uses her God-given talents, not the least of which is her ability to play the organ. Sis. Virginia also participates in such ministries as our monthly Quillen Manor service and the weekly 80’s Ladies Meeting. She is ready to serve in whatever capacity is needed. We are so thankful for her and all of our staff who have helped make EGRBC what it is today!
