DIRECTOR

My husband, Jerry and I have lived in Runaway Bay since 2003. I am a retired Texas Public School Teacher, retiring from Keller ISD. Jerry and I have enjoyed the pleasant lifestyle that Runaway Bay offers from golf to boating to time spent with the wonderful friendly people who live here. As a member of the Greater Runaway Bay Alliance, I hope to build on these positive opportunities and let others know that "Runaway Bay is a great place to work, live and play."

 

JOHN WEBSTER

I came to Runaway Bay Community Church in September of 2009 after serving 6 years at Crossroads Baptist Church in Azle, Texas. Prior to that, based out of Azle, for 12 years, I had traveled extensively throughout the U.S.A./Canada/ Great Britain and Western Europe as a singing evangelist. I love helping others and my passion is encouraging others to sing and worship the Lord!
