Favorite Bible Verse... When Peter and John were told to stop talking about Jesus, this was their response: "As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." (Acts 4:20)

My childhood ambition was... NAVY fighter pilot or right wing for Detroit Redwings

My ideal vacation would be... Anywhere with the people I love – especially outdoors... in the wilderness... with a bowling alley.

​Worship Director
Contact Jennie
(JennieA@findlayefree.com)


Jennie was born in southeast Ohio. Raised in a God-loving, performance-oriented family, she pursued music as a career from childhood.  She has a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from Muskingum University, toured with the Christian rock band Affix, and directed the worship program at Friendship Baptist Church in New Concord, Ohio, for nearly six years.  She and her husband Art came to Findlay in 2014 to pursue Art's career in electrical engineering, and almost immediately became a part of the E-Free family.  The Anderson have a son named Calvin, and they spend their time serving God, playing board games, and watching every Marvel movie they can.

Best advice I would give a 20 year old...Your dream job may be a job you don't even know exists, and it's possible to create it for yourself.  I did!  Just be patient, work hard, and trust God.

I am happiest when...I can have all the windows open in my house.

Favorite Bible character...Chenaniah, the man who was made worship master in Davidic times "because he was skillful."  Also, the Levites who were specifically set aside from all other priestly duties because they were responsible for keeping music going day and night in the temple.

Life verse..."For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." -Romans 8:18

Nobody knows that I...Once placed first statewide in competitive math tournaments.

​​KidzTown Director
Contact Alli
(AlliB@findlayefree.com) 

Alli grew up in Northern Illinois in a Christian family.  She prayed to accept Jesus as a young child but wasn't completely "sold out" for Him until she was 20.  Alli had graduated college with her Bachelors in Family and Child Studies.  Soon after graduation she married Matthew and less than two months after getting married they moved to Findlay and joined E-Free.  In 2016, she was blessed to become a mother to a wonderful boy named Harrison and it is her joy to see him grow and come to know Jesus.

If I could ask God one question...why cats?

My last meal would be...Mexican

Best advice I would give a 20 year old...do absolutely everything you can to graduate college debt free, you'll thank me...

I am happiest when...there are no dishes in my sink and when I see someone have a fire lit in them to seek the Lord.

Life verse..."And that is what some of you were.  But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."  1 Corinthians 6:11

Yvonne Anderson
​​Ministry Assistant
Contact Yvonne
(Yvonne@findlayefree.com) 

Yvonne was born in suburban Cleveland and has lived in Ohio most of her life. She came to Christ at the age of 16. She married her husband in 1975, and he has been gracious enough to put up with her all the years since. They have four grown children, seven grandchildren, and a revolving succession of foster grands. 

After working for thirty years as a legal secretary, Yvonne worked as a virtual assistant for a few years, and then as a church secretary. She came to Findlay and Lighthouse Community in November of 2018 and counts it a privilege to share her gifts and experience with this local body however she can.

Favorite Bible passage...I have no life verse, per se, but 1 Peter 1:3-9 kept me afloat early in my walk with the Lord and is still especially meaningful to me.

My childhood ambition was...For a while I wanted to play French horn professionally until I decided I didn’t want to hang out with musicians. Then I thought I might want to be a physical therapist until I changed my mind about going to college. Eventually I stumbled into the admin field, but that was not premeditated.

Nobody knows that...If I respond honestly, then everyone will know, so the answer will invalidate itself. Therefore, instead of telling you what no one knows, I’ll tell you something only a few people know: although I never cared for either Christian fiction or science fiction of any type, I’ve written and published several Christian sci-fi novels. Why? Because God has an amazing sense of humor. I have no other explanation.

Favorite Bible character...Huldah, the prophet mentioned in 2 Kings 22:14-20 and 2 Chronicles 34:22-28. At a time when the Scriptures were buried in the dust of neglect, she had a reputation for knowing the word of God, and people sought her out for godly wisdom.

My ideal vacation...I have a dear friend in Australia and would love to visit her in her natural habitat.
