This feels like a homecoming! I met my bride, saw my children baptized, and served 12
years as youth minister, all right here! This has truly been "A Place To Call Home" for us
and we are grateful He has called us back, now to serve as Church Administrator!

My wife, Beth, and I have two amazing kids Madison and Miller. My wife and I grew up in the Shreveport area and lived here most of our lives. I’m a graduate of C.E. Byrd High School and Louisiana Tech University. My family and I love family movies, vacations, weekend getaways, and sporting events. You also could say that our family is a little enamored with Disney. I love sports. I watch, coach and play a lot of them. You would probably be accurate to characterize me as competitive. I also enjoy movies and TV series. I’m a Sci-Fi geek, but I also love a good comedy. You’ll find that I go around quoting one-liners from my favorites. I’m not a hunter, but I love fishing. I have a passion for Summer Camps of all types and co-direct several in our area. I enjoy this life God has given me and love to make people laugh. I love people and enjoy getting to hear other people’s stories. If you see me around, don’t feel shy come start a conversation. I’d love to talk to you.

I've been serving the Lord and his people ever since I gave my life to Jesus when I was 7 years old. Since then, my desire has been to use the gifts I've been given and glorify the Lord in everything I do. My wife Kelsey and I met at ETBU in 2014 and have served in ministry together since. We've been married for 7 years and have been blessed with two beautiful boys. We truly feel we've found the perfect place to raise our family. It's such an honor to worship and serve with our new spiritual family at Grawood! 

I have been in ministry for a little over ten years. I have served in the children's department and am now blessed to teach many of those same students in the youth department. My wife and I currently have two toddlers and one baby girl on the way. It is an honor to serve at Grawood and to serve this community.

I am honored to be the children's minister here at Grawood Baptist. I have been a member at Grawood since I was too little to remember. The Lord has grown my faith and my leadership here, and this is home to my family also. I have three children of my own, and my husband is the youth minister here as well. I have been in ministry now for five years and served alongside my husband for 5 years prior to that. Leading our children to learn that they can trust God no matter, to know how to make the wise choice, and to treat other people the way they want to be treated is my desire and my passion. I can't wait to see how this next generation grows the Kingdom.

My name is Cassidy Richardson, I am the Associate Minister to Children and Families. I am a full time public school teacher. I was baptized right here at Grawood when I was 8, surrendered to ministry my junior year of high school, and served in many internship roles at several churches throughout my life. I am blessed to be able to do what I love at a place I call home.
