OUR COUNSELING TEAM
Veronica Clapp

She is especially passionate about helping individuals set healthy boundaries to strengthen their relationships-both with themselves and others.

ED KAUFFMAN
Lay Counselor
I was born and raised in Mifflin County. I currently reside in Yeagertown with my wife, Vicki. I am a father of two daughters and grandfather to four boys and one girl. One of our greatest joys as a grandparent is spending time with the grandchildren.
I graduated from Slippery Rock University and later received my Bible certification from Liberty University.
My career started in the corporate world where I spent 31 years in the banking arena before God called me into full time ministry for Him. The corporate world prepared me and has given me the ability to talk to people from all walks of life. In 2007 God called me into the ministry where I served as Family Pastor at Evangel Baptist Church until 2016 when I decided to retire. God had other plans when I was called to be one of the Campus Pastors at Valley View Retirement Community. I served there for three years. A major passion in ministry is missions. I have been to Honduras, Belize, Haiti and currently in the mountains of Kentucky. Another passion is seeing God’s people live the abundant life in a victorious way.

SCOTT & AMY MORGAN
Lay Counselors
Hi! We are Scott and Amy Morgan
We are long-time attenders of Calvary Bible Church. As a matter-of-fact, we met when we were in Youth Group together over 30 years ago. We have been married for 30+ years and we still really like each other! (most days).
One thing that we have learned over the last 30+ years is that marriage isn't always easy. Like everything else in life, there is good, bad, and sometimes ugly. But God....
God has a plan and a purpose for your marriage.
Many years ago, before we were even married, we had the opportunity to attend a Young Married Sunday school class that really opened our eyes to what God's picture of marriage looks like. We have come to realize and understand that marriage isn't something we deserve. It is a gift from God designed to accomplish his purpose in us for his glory and our good. Ever since then we have been passionate about sharing that picture with other couples.
In the past few years we have been privileged to lead a married couple's class (for 10+ years) and over the last 5 years have started a new class for engaged and newly married couples. We have enjoyed coming alongside, sharing personal experiences and mentoring couples in their marriage journey.
We would love to share our story and talk with you as well.
TIM & CINDY RAY
Lay Counselors
Hello! We are Tim and Cindy Ray. We have been members of CBC for 14 years. Tim and I were high school sweethearts, and have been married since 1996. We have two daughters, Sara (21) and Olivia (16). Tim and I have been through our share of life experiences, the most heartbreaking being the death of his father in 2016. We have seen how God has used this experience and others to bring us closer to Him and to each other. Our heart's desire is to help others who may be going through difficult times with their lives, marriage or family. We have both felt the Lord lay this burden on our hearts and together we want to serve Him by helping others who may be going through difficult times. We can be reached through my email at CBC, which is [email protected]
