Leadership Council Nominees
The Leadership Nominating Committee is nominating Paul W. Bates and Phyllis Turner to serve on the Leadership Council for 3-year terms beginning in January 2019.  The church will vote on this recommendation at the September 30^th Business Meeting. 

Paul W. Bates grew up at CBC and was baptized here in 1975.  He and his wife, Donna, have been married for 27 years and have two children.  Paul is presently an active deacon, is a former member of the Finance Committee, played on the CBC softball team and was a member of the oversight team of our CDC Renovation.  He is active in the community, too.  He presently serves on the Culpeper County Planning Commission.  In addition, he is a charter member of the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby and volunteers at the local heat shelter as well. His interests include vintage car restoration, wood working and home remodeling.  Paul does not shy away from a problem or challenge.   He believes the best way out of a difficult situation is directly through it.  He is respectful of everyone's opinion and listens before making a decision.

Phyllis Turner became a Christian at the age of 14 during a revival in a small country church and was baptized in a nearby creek.  She and her husband, Sam, were married for 58 ½ years.  They lived in many different places and were always active in their local church.  In the past she has helped to plant 2 churches, served as church clerk, WMU Director, Sunday School teacher, Deacon, VBS, and has hosted/led Bible studies in the churches she and her husband attended.  She is also is a wonderful artist and often serves as the pianist for services at The Culpeper.  She moved to Culpeper from Florida in March of 2013 and joined our church family shortly thereafter.
