Simone Lay

Pastoral Leadership Assistant

Ministry Role & Responsibility: I am blessed to serve our Senior Pastor in the functions of administration, organization, and communication. My hope is that in doing my job well he can devote his time to study, prayer, teaching, shepherding our faith family, and time spent with his family.

About Me: I was born and raised in Valdosta, Georgia. I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Health Science Education (Go Gators!). While at UF I met my best friend and late husband of 30 years, Kris Lay, at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I have three adult kids and one son-in-law. I homeschooled my children for 14 years. I love dogs, good food, and any time spent in the mountains. I enjoy reading, puzzles (including crossword), hiking, and a good walk with a friend.
