Bruce and Melinda married in Southern California in 1998 and called the West Coast home for 30 years before moving to Huntsville in 2012 to care for her parents. They've been part of our Big Cove family ever since! They are the proud parents of three daughters and two granddaughters, and are grateful their middle daughter lives close by.
In retirement, Bruce keeps busy with woodworking, gardening, and cooking, while Melinda enjoys crafts, thrifting, and refinishing furniture.
These two are the definition of servant hearts. Bruce has served as Elder, Facilities Manager, and leads our Personnel and Security teams. Melinda has served as Deacon, contributes to the Worship team, and serves as our Bookkeeping Liaison. Both are deeply involved in Missions & Outreach, and Melinda jokes that her superpower is volunteering Bruce — but the truth is, they both just love serving others. 🙌
We are so blessed to have them at Big Cove!
