Minister
We are uniquely blessed to have Jeff Trotter as our
minister. Jeff grew up in Rock
Hill where his family was, and continues to be,
active in the Charlotte Avenue Church of Christ. During his undergraduate
studies at Freed-Hardeman
University, Jeff met
and married his life partner, Mary Alice.
Jeff earned his masters in Religion from
Lipscomb
University
in Nashville and then moved to
Bristol,
VA where he began his work
as the minister for the East Bristol Church of Christ. After 11 years in
Tennessee,
Jeff and Mary Alice came home to support the fledgling congregation at
Gold
Hill Road.
Jeff has all the traits needed in a
strong minister: doctrinal soundness, excellent teaching and preaching
abilities, a propensity for benevolent service and a genuine concern for
lost souls. Particularly important for our growing congregation is his
ability to effectively deal with a large variety of people.
When he’s not teaching, preaching or
sharing his time with our many members, their families, and area
visitors, you’ll find Jeff enjoying a round of golf, catching up on the
latest sports news or traveling with Mary Alice.
