Paul and Janet Flores
Welcome to our website! Nothing fancy here -- just some basic information and a few pictures to let you know who we are and what we're all about. We hope you enjoy your visit -- please stay in touch and let us know how we can be an encouragement to you. Pastors and church leaders, feel free to contact us to discuss any ideas you may have for ministry events. We are called to serve you!
Who are these guys? We (Paul and Janet) have been ministering together since before we were married in 1978. Through a number of ministry assignments (youth pastor, worship leader, senior pastor, evangelist, para-church staff) over a period of more than 30 years we have sung, led worship, preached, taught, laughed and cried with people. We also invested the biggest portion of our lives raising four wonderful, good-looking, intelligent children. Three of them are now married and the youngest is a student at Anderson University. Our lives have revolved around family, ministry, music and baseball -- and Mexican food, of course. Although Paul was born and raised in Texas and Janet in Ohio, we met in California and then spent practically all our adult years in Colorado. In July of 2007 we accepted the call to become the shepherds of the First Church of God in Mitchell, Indiana.
How can we be a blessing to you?
In a broad sense, we minister to the body of Christ with the gifts God has given us -- the Great Commandment. But our focus is on being salt and light in the world -- the Great Commission. We hope to be a model of what a real family is all about -- with all our faults, wrinkles and frailties -- loving God and loving each other.
Here are the things we do:
- Preach the Word (special speaker, evangelist)
- Teach the Truth (retreats, seminars, conferences, workshops, songwriting clinics)
- Sing the Story (concerts, banquets, special services, conventions)
- Play the Instruments (piano, keyboard, guitars, trumpet, organ)
- Write the Music (original gospel, worship, inspirational and family songs)
- Encourage the Pastor (fellowship, accountability, peer counseling)
- Lead the Worship (revivals, campmeetings)
Here's the "deal" -- let us know how we can help you!
- We are full-time pastors but recognize that ministry is not all about the local church
- Ours is a ministry of love -- we love you and hope you will love us enough to support what we do
- We have never asked for a set fee -- we operate on a love offering basis when doing anything outside of our local church
- We ask permission to make our music and other Christian, family and inspirational materials available at our concerts and services
- We respect and honor the leadership of the pastor and elders
- We work to build up the Body of Christ and reach out to those who are searching for spiritual reality
