Family Bio: Darin and Melissa have been married 29 years and have one son, Alexander. Darin is a retired Air Force Master Sergeant. He has been at Alive in Christ since 2019. God and family come first. Home is where faith gets practiced. Scripture, prayer, and showing up for the people God has given you. That same habit is how he serves here: as elder, on audio and video so worship can be heard and seen, and with Next Generation Ministries so the young are part of the church’s life, not spectators. When he is not at church or with family, he is usually in the shop, on a golf course, camping, or in the Bible. He is grateful to belong to a congregation that still opens the Scriptures and receives Christ in Word and Sacrament.
Hobbies / Interests: Woodworking, golfing, camping, and reading the Bible.
Favorite Bible verse: Proverbs 3:5–6 — “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
