PASTORS GREG AND SHERRIE HANSEN
Greg Hansen was born and raised in South Arkansas. He came from a large family of four boys and four girls. He was called into the ministry, ordained, and sent out by Christian Fellowship Ministries.
Greg & Sherrie sold all they had and moved to Texas. They opened Hansen’s Collision in 1985 where Greg evangelized from his business. In order to disciple the new converts, a Bible study was started in their home which continued for many years. In 2000, His House Ministries was birthed in their home.
Having served as an elder for seven years in a local church, over twenty years of street ministry, cell pastoring, teaching, preaching, training, evangelizing, and serving in the body of Christ, He is calling the body of Christ to “make a difference”, “ be a voice,” “Let’s do the Stuff.”
Greg has a heart for reaching the lost, discipling, missions, reclaiming our youth, bridging the gap between ages, races, denominations, and striving towards unity in the body of Christ.
Sherrie Shirley Hansen was born in Winnsboro, Texas. She met and married Greg in 1978, over thirty years ago. They have four boys: Michael, Nick, Zack, and Drew, and have nurtured two girls, Lindy and Kristin for many years and who will always be as close as their own. Greg and Sherrie also have five grandchildren with many more to come.
Sherrie is currently overseeing Children's Ministry and has served as a Children’s Church pastor for over twenty years along with many other administrative helps. She is currently serving as Administrator and Director, along with Greg at Morgan’s Mercy Mansion Rehabilitation Center, a faith based program for women with drug and alcohol addictions. She teaches a class entitled Growing Kids God’s Way as well as other classes at the center.
Sherrie homeschooled for eighteen years and loves teaching, nurturing, and watching God do the impossible. Her love for God, Greg, her family and the body of Christ are a testimony of the grace and favor of our Lord Jesus Christ.
PASTORS RON AND KATHY SMEDLEY
Ron Smedley was reared in Grand Prairie, a suburb of Dallas. After graduating from high school, he surrendered to the call of the Lord to ministry, and subsequently enrolled in Wesley College in Mississippi. While at Wesley, he had the privilege of meeting his soul-mate Kathy. After college he attended Liberty University, Tyndale Seminary, and UT Arlington. Ron has served as Youth Pastor, Evangelism Director, Church Planter and Senior Pastor.
Ron has also worked as a social worker in Child Protective Services and as a parole officer, feeling compelled to make a difference in his community and reach people that churches may not be able to reach. His vision is to address the relevant issues of our culture and develop programs and ministries around meeting these needs in areas such as addiction, abuse, broken homes, poverty, marriage and family.
Some of the first people Ron and Kathy met when they moved to Winnsboro in the fall of 1998 were pastors Greg and Sherrie. God in His Sovereignty ordained that Divine Appointment to join them together to reach Winnsboro and beyond.
Kathy Leslie Smedley has been married to Pastor Ron for over 27 years and they have four children: Joshua, twins-Preston and Blake, and Joy. Kathy is a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Nationally Certified Counselor.
