What a blessing he and June have been to all who have known them.

Our beloved June Rolen:  On February 13, 2010 June went home to be with the Lord. What a wonderful woman she was.
June was the mother of Senior Pastor Tim Rolen, mother of Janice Little and the wife of Pastor Emeritus Lonnie Rolen.
June's entire life was centered around God's ministry. Her father was a preacher, her husband a preacher and son a pastor.
June's life was full of many accomplishments. There was never a Sunday that you would not see June meeting and greeting all the church body and sharing the word.  Her love for the Lord shined bright in all that she did. Her greatest desire and love was serving the Lord - and she served Him well.  She was loved by all and she will be greatly missed.
