Kingdom Living Christian Church staff and Volunteers

Kingdom Living Christian Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.

Pastors Bob & Bobbie Cook

CO-FOUNDERS OF KINGDOM LIVING CHURCH

Immediately after Bob and Bobbie married, they began to operate in the ministry of helps at their local church. In1982, Bob attended Norvel Hayes Soul Winning Training School in Cleveland, Tennessee. On arrival back, under Bob's direction, a food outreach ministry was established in Akron, Ohio in addition to a food outreach ministry in Canton, Ohio called the “Turn Around Ministry” which incorporated teaching people how to be soulwinners.  

While working diligently under the direction of  the senior pastor at their local church for approx. 15 years, Bob and Bobbie were offered and declined a position with the Joyce Meyer Ministries and chose to attend Rhema Bible College in Oklahoma instead. While attending school, Rhema hired and brought them on staff. Not long after Bob and Bobbie graduated from Rhema Bible College, God sent them back to their hometown in Canton, Ohio, where they co-founded and served as senior pastors of His Place For You Ministries.

The ministry had a great outreach ministry and fed over a 100 needy families monthly. As an extension of the church, they established a Christian café that was open every Friday night. After fourteen years, Pastor Bob and Bobbie felt that God was moving them out and to wait on their next assignment. While waiting on the Lords direction, Pastor Bob and Bobbie taught weekly at a local church and worked in the ministry of helps anywhere needed.They are excited and passionate in teaching the body of Christ to do ministry and in reaching the community, the nation, and the world with the Good News of the Kingdom of God in Christ!

Bobbie brings to Kingdom Living church her organizational and administration skills as well as teaching the word of God. Pastor Bob's strength and passion is teaching the word of God and growing a strong healthy body of believers. He is passionate and a stickler for the word of God.Pastor Bob and Bobbie are both licensed and ordained ministers through Rhema Bible College and come with high recommendations. 1Timothy 1:12

Jerrie Define

Finance Department

Jerrie was born into a military family at Hamilton Field AFB outside Petaluma with two older sisters and one older brother. Jerrie and her family moved often because of her fathers military assignments. Jerrie says, ”The day after President John Kennedy was assassinated, is the day her family left for Ohio, and moved to Navarre. After graduation, Jerrie met and married the love of her life, her “second rock”, Bob Define.  Jerrie and Bob raised two sons and one daughter.  Jerrie is retired from the Village of Navarre and Nickles Bakery Thrift Store.

Jerrie enjoys researching her ancestry, reading history, reading her Bible, and her monthly meetings with Daughters of the American Revolution. Jerrie says, “I cannot remember a time in my life that Jesus Christ has not been a part of it.  Jesus is my “first rock”. He has always been there for me to help me through the good times and well as the bad.  I believe He always answers my prayers. Sometimes, not in the way I am hoping for them to be answered, but what turns out to be the best way. I cannot imagine my life without Jesus in it.

"Her favorite verse is John 3:16  For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He gave up His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Working along side Jerrie in finances: Phyllis Davidson, and Lorna Ulrich
