Mr. Billie Evans Maintenance Supervisor

He is faithful to his bus route every Sunday morning and teaches the third grade boys Sunday School class. The Pastor has stated that Bro. Evans is the most important man to the ministry of TBC. People may excuse the Pastor if he preaches a poor sermon and say he had a bad day. However, the people will not excuse a dirty facility. The 62,000 sq. ft. of building and the 8 acres of grounds are maintained by our beloved Bro. Billy.
