Financial Secretary

Jerry Smith

At the end of his military tour, Jerry Smith went back to college where he received his B.S. in Business Administration. 

During the 70's when businesses were just beginning to computerize their bookkeeping, the necessary software was hard to find and very expensive.  Jerry taught himself Fortran and wrote his own software!   Other than BVBC, Jerry has been a bookkeeper for a Christian School, a rescue mission and some small companies.   He has been on staff at BVBC for 17 years!  His wisdom and experience are priceless!

Director of Nursery &

Preschool Ministries

Nora Price

Being a mother of six has definitely provided some of the valuable training that helps Nora Price as our Director of Preschool Ministries.  Also, Nora's medical background and training, as a Respiratory Therapist, gives her insight into medical issues and has helped our staff to be more prepared and confident when medical concerns arise.  We appreciate Nora for many reasons but, are so thankful that she is dedicated to the safety and well-being our our preschoolers! 

BVBC has so very many qualified volunteer and support staff that we could not feature each one here.  We could not possibly function without these dedicated people!
