A Note from Pastors Brother Derek and Sister Jenna Sanders -
"Jenna and I have been attending Byram’s Chapel for two years now and are excited to have the chance to minister and grow with the youth here. I was raised in Byram’s Chapel and was elated when my wife and I felt God drawing us back to the church and people I love. We both seek to humbly serve the church with our full hearts and to lay a foundation and example for the youth here at Byram’s. We realize that we are truly blessed to have the opportunity to minister in such a supportive and loving church. Jenna and I will have been married for 3 years as of May 20th and still love it. We met at a church revival and both knew God had something special planned for us from that night. We are truly blessed to have met and married the one true love God had set aside for each of us. Jenna is an Information Technology Coordinator and blast to be around. She is a lively spirit with a compassionate heart for others, who is self-sacrificing and thoughtful on her worst days. She loves to eat “Peeps” and sleep in her spare time. I, on the other hand, am a 25-year-old student at Western Kentucky University seeking my degree in Dental Hygiene. Only 1 year left (PRAISE THE LORD). I love to play Guitar, do anything artistic, and make people laugh. We would like to personally extend an open invitation for any youth who would like to join us on Wednesday nights at 7:00 or Sunday mornings at 11:00 to worship the Lord and have a good time doing it. Look forward to seeing you and GOD BLESS!!!
