Dear Church Leader and Friend,
We would like to welcome Mike Nalley to our Associational Team. Mike is replacing Evan Knies who has moved back home to Louisiana. Mike will begin serving officially as our Ministry Assistant in January. He is currently on board and going through some training.

You can contact Mike at the following email address: (nelsonbaptistassociation@gmail.com), through the Association office (502-348-0146), or on his cell phone (502-296-6462).
