DIRECTOR OF YOUTH MINISTRY
Eliza Ours Ph: 912-638-2220 x115 eliza@sspres.org Eliza considers one of her biggest blessings as being a member of SSPC her entire life! Her baptism, confirmation and even her marriage have all been at SSPC. As she grew up in the church, her favorite memories are camps, mission trips and building relationships with the other members. Although she has been an intern and worked part-time in various ministries of the church, she is thrilled to now be on staff and share her faith and love for Jesus with the youth. Eliza enjoys gardening, baking/cooking and spending time with her husband, Luke, and her family (she is the daughter of CE/Children's Ministry Director, Frieda Warner). |
