Carolyn Robertson, Missions Director
Born July 4th, 1945 in Norfolk, VA. I was saved at the age of 11 years old at my mother’s feet in
her bedroom. My Ministry Gifts are listening, Children’s Teacher, WMU Leader, Counseling and having people in my home.
I have two grown children Steven A. Robertson and Anita E. Robertson, both of Killeen, TX. I believe my job as Director of
Mission Killeen is to meet the physical need of the people while leaving the door open to evangelize them to the Lord. My
aim is to always point them to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Melanie Thomas, Administrative Secretary
As the administrative secretary, I work to serve God by serving others, whether it's by answering the phone
or by putting together the weekly church bulletin. I have served in this position since May 13, 2004. Born into a military
family in Fort Hood, TX; I have also lived in Japan, Germany, and Kentucky. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism
from Abilene Christian University, and previously worked as a reporter for newspapers in Waco, Copperas Cove, and Killeen.
In my season of working as a church secretary, I am able to see the inner workings of the church and how prayer is essential
even in the daily operations of the church. My personal mission in life is to grow closer to God, reaching my highest potential
in Him and to be used for His glory. My desire is to move into whatever ministry He is calling me to, using both my
natural gifts of writing and listening as well as my spiritual gifts of helps, exhortation (encouragement) and knowledge.
