Rick Hutchins
Personnel
Rick was raised in church and was baptized around age 12, believing that he had accepted Christ. But his life in college and early adulthood reflected a lack of true repentance and submission to Christ. In early 1983, in a business meeting, an old friend shared the Gospel with him, and God turned an ordinary meeting into a life-changing event. Rick says, “Our God is faithful and never gives up on us, never stops loving us, and my life is my proof of that.” Since coming to MVBC in 1985, Rick has served as an elder, preschool teacher, Sunday School Director, Deacon, Equipping Matters teacher, and on several committees.
