Michelle and her family began attending Kerr at the end of 2009 after she was repeatedly invited by their neighbor who was a member of our church. She did not grow up in church and was unsure of what to expect. After the warm welcomes they received, the church members immediately felt like family, and she knew this was a place for her family.

Michelle accepted the Lord's calling on her life to serve as our church's secretary when the position became available in February 2014. She has always enjoyed helping others, and so this felt like the perfect fit for her. At that same time, she also went back to college to get her Associates Degree in Office Administration. She graduated in May of 2017!

She enjoys working with our youth group, and preparing the PowerPoint presentations to accompany the Worship Services on Sunday mornings. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and her dogs. She also loves to ride on the back of her dad's Harley!

The verse she tries to apply to her daily life is Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men."

Sandra Campbell joined Kerr Memorial Baptist Church 2014.  Sandra served briefly as interim pianist from June 2017 until she accepted the position November 2017.

Her love for gospel music began at an early age. She began playing in church at the age 9. At age 10, she was pianist for Carswell Memorial Baptist Church in Morganton.  Since she began playing, she has continued using her talent in other churches.  In addition to playing the piano and organ, Sandra began singing at age 6, singing solos and with a quartet for 12 years. She believes in using her talents to bring honor and glory to the Lord through faithful service to Him and others.

Sandra recently retired with 20 years as a Certified Healthcare Professional. She and her husband Larry have 2 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, 3 granddaughters, 2 grandsons and 1 great granddaughter. She shares in a quote from Erma Bombeck.  “ When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would not have one single bit of talent left and I can say, I used EVERYTHING you gave me.”  

Colossians 3:23-24” Whatever you do, work heartily as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward – You Are serving the Lord Christ”
