Came to Mt. Eden Christian Church after serving several years as minister of the Fairview Christian Church, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.

The Mt. Eden Christian Church is under the leadership of spiritually qualified elders and deacons. Both offices are filled by men in the church. They are selected by nominations from the congregation and voted upon by the active members of the church at an annual congregational meeting held on the last Sunday of October.

The elders are in charge of the communion table, approving all teaching materials, visiting, praying for, and calling on church members, and they are charged to work for the general welfare of the church. Deacons are to assist the elders in carrying out the church's mission.

Elders serving in 2024 in the following roles: Chairman: Wayne Brumfield; Vice Chairman: Gary Sorrell; Treasurer/Secretary: Johnny Davis; and Kenny Webster.

Deacons serving in 2024 are Larry Dixon, Steve Gilliam, Ron McFadden, James Mitchell, Bill Mitchuson, Keith Morris, Jed Morris, Scott Sorrell, Clarence Stafford, Hubert Stafford, and Mike Stevens.

Tricia has attended Mt. Eden Christian Church since she was 8 days old. She has worked with the children and youth at Mt. Eden since she was a teenager. She "officially" became the Youth Director, however, in the fall of 2014. 

Tricia studied Christian education at Kentucky Christian College (Grayson, KY) and early childhood education at the University of Kentucky.  She has been employed by Lexington Montessori School for 42 years. 

Tricia's support staff include a great husband (Keith), two amazing sons (Jacob and Jed), one lovely daughter in love (Ginny) and 8 wonderful grandchildren! Her personal mission statement is "Love God and Love People!"
