Mountain View Conference Welcomes New Faces

Story by Liz Bailey

Three new families have recently joined the Mountain View Conference (MVC) team.

Jessica Lindao, a member of the Parkersburg (W.Va.) church, has recently accepted a call to serve as the administrative assistant in the MVC office. An answer to prayer, she comes equipped with many talents and skills that will help the office run smoothly. She is married to Juan Rugel, and they have one son, Alex Rugel (pictured above).

Jeremy Garlock is the new pastor of the Charleston (W.Va.) Boulevard church and the youth director for the MVC. Garlock comes to the MVC from the New York Conference with his wife, Joya, and two of their daughters, Kai and Maya (pictured below, left). Garlock has previously served God in various roles such as an elementary school teacher, pastor, education superintendent, youth director and Union Springs Academy principal.

For the past three years, Johnathan Ryan has served in various roles in the Pennsylvania Conference, including publishing director and associate youth director, where he also accepted a call into pastoral ministry and pastored a three-church district. He and his wife, Marrina, have accepted a call to serve as pastor of the Point Pleasant church (W.Va.) and associate pastor of the Ripley (W.Va.) church. The couple are the proud parents of Nathaniel and Elaina (pictured above).
