Where We Worship (and why)
By Seth Tripp

Being called to the ministry is what Andy Raridin of Calvery Baptist Greenwood felt when he joined the church in 2000. Andy who just recently became the Youth pastor at the church. Before he was made Youth Pastor at the church Andy was a member at the church and Sunday School teacher for the young Adults class.
Also married and a father of two boys Nate, 5 and Jay, 3. His wife Amy says that the friendliness of the church is what drew them to the church. “When you go to your first service there are several people that come up to you and make sure you feel right at home. Since coming from the small town of Casey, Illinois they felt a little overwhelmed in larger church so they felt that Calvery was just the right size for them and fit the need so fall the boys.
Although Andy has now accepted the position as Youth Pastor he is still the teacher of a growing class. The class was started a year and a half ago and is growing quickly. Amy says it is a very tight knit group that strives to make new couples feel welcome. There is a lot of accountability in their sunday school class. They stay in contact and get together for social activities at least once a month. “It’s just great to be able to come to a place to worship that’s accepting and enjoyable to be at every week and not just some of the times.”
