Guest Bios

Warren and Becky Selman

Pastors Warren and Rebecca Selman minister out of hearts and lives that have truly been "tried by fire." They have experienced the devastation of a diagnosis of cancer three times, the loss of a child and most recently the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Having come through many difficult situations and attacks of the enemy, they pastor with a voice of compassion and understanding.

The Selmans have served God and the local church for many years in many different areas of the United States. Rev. Selman began his ministry career as a local youth worker. After receiving his ordination into the ministry, he and his wife served as Youth Pastors over a period of years in three different churches. His ministry as a Senior Pastor spans more than twenty years. Rebecca served as a missionary to Latin America early in her career before they were married. Bro. Warren and Rebecca believe in a "hands on approach" in teaching ministry skills to their congregation. They understand the needs of people in crisis and know how to meet individuals at their point of need.

Taylor Mason

Taylor Mason makes audiences laugh, very hard, in every imaginable venue the world over. A throwback and an original at the same time, he is a wildly popular "G"-rated comedian, entertaining the broad sensibilities of people from every background there is, touching on what we have in common, and the issues that bind us as families, neighbors, friends, communities and as a nation.
