Joe Easley
Youth Pastor
My wife is Dawn and we have been married since 2007. We have three children together…Caleb, Korie, and Ryleigh. We believe that the entire Bible is God’s holy word. Our desire is to give glory to Jesus Christ who freely gives salvation by grace through faith in Him alone. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He shed His blood on the cross for the forgiveness of all our sins. We also believe that He rose from the grave and is seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high. We are promised eternal life with Him in Heaven when we believe and our desire is for all to repent of their sins and believe. We would love to have you worship with us and study God’s word together! Jesus is the only way. There is no other way to come to the Father…John 14:6.

I am Nelson Pagans, the Troop Ministry Liaison (TML) of Trail Life Troop NC0710. I am a husband, father, and a disciple of Christ. Jesus is my Savior and have served in different youth organizations for 30 years. I have also been a member of Pleasant Union for 30 years.

Jeanna Perry
American Heritage Leader
My name is Jeanna Perry, and I am the Troop Coordinator for the American Heritage Girls Troop NC0710. I love Jesus and accepted Him into my heart when I was 13, baptized when I was 25. My favorite part of being the troop coordinator is watching the girls grow in their faith, becoming the godly leaders and women of integrity God designed them to be. My family consists of my husband, my four children, three dogs, and three cats. I am a nurse as well as a pianist, and I have many hobbies including beekeeping and crocheting.
