Bro. Earl has been attending services at Trinity since he was an infant. At the age of 14, he accepted Christ as his Savior during a Sunday morning salvation message preached by Dr. Claude Craven. Bro. Earl was baptized that night. His wife Natalie was saved at the age of 9 at a church in Arizona, but had never been scripturally baptized. And so, on Earl and Natalie’s first “church date” at Trinity, Natalie was baptized by Dr. Craven in the evening service.

Earl and Natalie were later married at Trinity. Several years later, they were blessed of God to have a son, Nathaniel. A few years later, Natalie’s nieces, Kassady and Wanda, came to live with them and they took over parenting responsibilities for the girls. Nathaniel is married to Evalena and they have a daughter, Elyse. Wanda is married to Malachi Allen, who is in active military service with the U.S. Army. Kassady resides in the Austin, Texas area.

Bro. Earl was hired by Dr. Craven in August of 1990. He has grown to love his job and church family more each year.

One of his favorite verses of scripture is Ephesians 4:32 “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
