He has led the Disaster Response efforts of FBC Pendleton, completing over 60 mission trips since hurricane Katrina. Wayne is a deacon, Sunday school teacher, kitchen worker, choir member, and active volunteer/team leader for local mission projects that FBC Pendleton elects to pursue.

He retired from Clemson University in 2008 after a 30-year career as a tiger. His Doctoral degree in Business Administration is from the University of Arkansas, and he holds a BS and MA from the University of Alabama.
Our Coordinating Council
The Coordinating Council is the governing body of CBFSC. All of its members are volunteers.
A Nominating Committee recommends Council members to serve for three-year terms (or unexpired terms). The names are presented to the general membership for approval at the annual Business Meeting held during the General Assembly every spring.
The Council does its work through teams and committees, sometimes in person but more often virtually.
