From Pastor Daryle: “I accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior at the age of 9. When I was 18, I felt God calling me into ministry. I later realized He was calling me to Pastoral ministry. For nearly 22 years, I’ve been privileged to be called Pastor (along with a few other things). I believe in conservative theology and liberal service. Jesus has amazingly and wonderfully changed my life and I want others to know Jesus personally and the difference He makes in our lives. It’s all about Jesus”

Jessica Moss

Children’s Minister
864-490-1056
 
Jessica joined and started serving at CCBC in July 2024. She married her husband, Tyler, in April 2017 and they have two children, Raelynn and William. Jessica is a graduate from Clemson University and is a Nationally Certified ASL Interpreter. Jessica has been serving alongside her husband, Tyler, in the ministry since 2015. She has served in youth ministry, children ministry, and fulfilled the role of a Pastor’s wife. Jessica was saved at a young age of five and was raised to follow the Lord, but it was in college at Clemson, that she matured in her faith and truly understood the meaning of having a relationship with the Lord. From then, she felt called to the ministry but wasn’t sure to what capacity. She served as a missionary in Florida for three months, and while serving alongside her husband in ministry, Jessica found her calling, love, and passion for children ministry. Accepting Christ at a young age, and now having young children herself, Jessica has a passion to teach and disciple young children to know the Lord and to guide them in their walk with Him. Jessica understands that this is an opportune time in a child’s life to set the stepping stones and foundation of their faith. Jessica is excited to see how the Lord uses her and works within the children of CCBC.
