Lauren Heath
Financial Administrator
lauren@ccclive.org
I am a Columbus native – born and bred, raised as the daughter of a minister. I’ve always felt a strong attraction toward accounting and bookkeeping since being introduced to the subject in high school. After a fabulous four-and-a-half years at Columbus State University, I received a degree in Accounting. I married my high school sweetheart, Josh, and within eight years of marriage, we were blessed with four beautiful (and spirited) children. God provided a way for me to be the financial administrator at Christ Community Church in 2011. This is my dream job, where I can fulfill my dreams of doing what I love vocationally and being a wife and mother at the same time.
Life verse: Psalm 107:8-9 – “Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.”
Favorite foods: Fried chicken
Favorite movie: “Forrest Gump.” I like the idea that one simple man can impact and be a part of so many historic events in a volatile and changing nation.
Hobbies, pastimes and interests: It’s difficult for me to find time for hobbies and pastimes, but if I could choose to do something, I would crochet, paint and further my musical abilities.
Ambitions / aspirations: One day I might like to pursue going to seminary
What I like to read: I like books that challenge me to be a more dedicated follower of Christ and wife and mother. Also, some fiction. But reading is a challenge in this season of my life.
People are surprised to know: I took piano lessons from the age of 3 to 18. I play the piano like an old-fashioned church accompanist (and I’m especially good at playing hymns from the Baptist Hymnal).
Best counsel / advice I ever received: From Pam Cowart: "I should never focus on the 'ought to bes' or 'should have dones' in my life. The Father sees me as a cherished and precious daughter, no matter what.
My staff role at CCC: I take care of all financial matters of Christ Community Church, from contribution statements to financial reports to paying all the bills.
What I enjoy most about serving at CCC: I love that what is preached on Sunday morning is echoed in the halls during the week. I love using all of the gifts God has given me every day at CCC.
