• James Jones, Lead Minister

    Originally from Marietta, Georgia, James came on staff at TCC in February 2014 when he and his wife, LeAnn, and their daughters moved from Florida. James can't imagine doing anything else because he loves preaching and teaching from Scripture. He enjoys baking, drinking a cup of coffee with family on the front porch of their home, and reading a good book. His claim to fame is that he won a worldwide contest (really just an Instagram post) held by the St. Louis Science Center to name their giant pumpkin. His entry, Gourdzilla, was deemed the best. James holds B.A. from Milligan College (1994); M.A. in New Testament Studies (2003) from Johnson University; and a D.Min. (2011) from Londen Institute of Evangelism. Contact James at james.jones@taylorvillechristian.com.

  • LeAnn Jones, Kids Minister

    LeAnn began serving in kids' ministry in high school and has always felt passionate about pouring into children's lives. She earned a B.A. in Music Education from Toccoa Falls College in 1992. LeAnn served as the Children's Minister at Crossroads Christian Church (Florida), where she was ordained, and served as the kindergarten teacher at VisionWay Christian School before coming on the TCC staff. When she was little, she declared she wanted to be motorcycle-riding nurse! LeAnn loves spending time with family, which includes TCC's Lead Minister James Jones and daughters Lauren and Lillie. Contact LeAnn at leann.jones@taylorvillechristian.com.

  • Steve Basham, Ministry Assistant

    Steve serves as TCC's treasurer as well as Ministry Assistant. Steve helps TCC run smoothly and efficiently. He is retired from GSI in Assumption (where he once won a large gingerbread house for winning a table game at the Christmas party). Three words that describe Steve well are caring, generous, and self-conscious. When he was younger, he wanted to become an airline pilot, and he is now content to ride his bike and travel. Contact Steve at steve.basham@taylorvillechristian.com.

  • Sue Boyd, Custodian

    Sue's mom used to say, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." Even though Sue knows that's not in the Bible, she contributes her love for keeping things clean and tidy to her mom's words! When she was little, she wanted to become a nun. Now, in addition to keeping everything at TCC clean, Sue is a massage therapist and nail technician and works at Loving Arms Crisis Pregnancy Center. She enjoys dark chocolate and a "good cup of joe." Sue is married to Don, and she spends as much time as possible with her children and grandchildren.
