Patty Adkins

Office Administrator

Patty serves the church as office administrator.  She began attending Cliffview as a young teen. Patty recalls a song from those days that made a lasting impression on her life, Trust in the Lord, directed by Cliffview’s then associate pastor, B. Gary Harris, based on the scripture Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.”  Patty still relies on that scripture today!

Debbie Wright

Minister of Youth and Children

The Lord gloriously saved Debbie and gave her a heart for teaching children about Jesus. She began volunteering with Cliffview children’s ministry and the door opened for her to work full- time as Children’s Pastor. She now enjoys leading the youth along with the children to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Hanging out and having fun with the Cliffview kids and teens are at the top of Debbie’s “to do” list!
