Our Staff

An accountant by trade, Rob left the business world over 20 years ago to pursue his dream of becoming a pastor. Considering eternal significance of greater value than worldly success, he enrolled in seminary to begin his studies. After receiving both a masters and doctorate degrees from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Rob began his ministry as a student Pastor in El Paso, TX. Since that time, he has served as the Sr. Pastor of the First Baptist Churches of Indianola, MS and Clinton, MS respectively.

Rob and Lisa moved to Green Valley in March of 2003 with their two sons, Stephen (16) and Michael (12). They love living in Henderson and believe that serving at Green Valley is a dream come true. His passion in ministry is to see changed lives, spiritual growth, and to see people reach their God given potential in life. His favorite part of being a pastor is getting to know people. So come by this weekend and introduce yourself as Pastor Rob would love to meet you!

David has spent most of his ministry in the southwest.  A graduate of Northern Arizona University, Dave was an award-winning television director and producer at North Phoenix Baptist Church before entering music ministry.  He has led in churches in Arizona and Alabama, and is thrilled to be in Henderson, which is just a four and a half hour drive from his hometown of Yuma, Arizona. He joined the staff in 2003, and counts his time partnering with Pastor Rob here, and seeing Green Valley grow, as the highlight of his ministry. David and his wife Annette have three beautiful children- Connor, 6, Chloe, 3, and Caleb, 2.  You can visit his blog at dsimpson41.blogspot.com.

Cheryl and her family moved to Henderson in 1993 and found GVBC to be a wonderful new church home. After having home schooled for 10 years, Cheryl joined the staff as Children’s Pastor in 1999. She had occupied a similar ministry position at Bethany Church of Sierra Madre in Southern California. Her degree in Christian Education is from BIOLA University. With a staff of 4 she oversees ministry to children from birth to grade 5.

Cheryl and her husband, Bruce, have four children. Emily (10) and Katie (16) are still in the nest. William is married to Meg, and Lauren and her husband, Jeremiah, have produced two grandbabies!

Her desire is to see a generational ministry here at GVBC – to equip young parents to successfully pass the baton of faith to their own children.

“Let each generation tell it’s children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power.” 
(Ps. 145:4)
