Cindy and Dubby Carr are a remarkable pastoral team whose shared vision is rooted in meeting people where they are—offering guidance, understanding, and practical wisdom in ways that resonate uniquely with each individual. While their approaches may differ, their commitment to serving others and cultivating a thriving community is unmistakable.
Cindy is a compassionate leader with a deep understanding of brain health, crisis management, and collaborative care, serving alongside her husband, Dubby, in ministry and business within their local community since 1986. With a Master of Arts in Christian Leadership (MACL) from Eastern Mennonite University (2008) and a Doctor of Ministry (DMIN) from Liberty University (2021), Cindy integrates her robust academic background with extensive vocational experience to provide thoughtful, clinical, and faith-based guidance. She excels in stepping into moments of crisis, helping individuals and families stabilize and navigate their next steps. Cindy blends theology, psychology, and leadership to show how compassion promotes healing and resilience in individuals, families, and faith communities.

Dubby, a faith-driven entrepreneur, brings a grounded, straightforward perspective that complements Cindy’s clinical approach. Rooted in his small-town, agricultural upbringing, he embodies community, resilience, and hard work. Having overcome adversity through Christ, he founded multiple successful businesses, holds a registered patent, and now, retired, inspires others through his ministry to start where they are and grow rooted in faith. A father figure to many, Dubby offers practical guidance and encouragement, often inviting congregation members to reflect outdoors, blending faith with everyday life. His heart is so full of Christ’s love that he welcomes everyone as a friend, never meeting a stranger.
Together, Cindy and Dubby exemplify how two different approaches can harmonize into one powerful ministry. Cindy brings insight from study and practice, Dubby brings life experience and grounded wisdom, and together they guide couples and individuals through relationship challenges, personal growth, and the pursuit of purpose. Their long marriage is a living example of partnership, communication, and shared vision, showing that differences can strengthen a team rather than divide it.
As bi-vocational pastors, Cindy and Dubby model a balanced life, empowering others to serve Christ in daily living through teaching, fellowship, prayer, and discovering God-given gifts and talents. Above all, they are deeply committed to creating a space where people feel understood, supported, and empowered. They help others shed shame, find their purpose, and discover the power within themselves—all while demonstrating the profound impact of working together in love, faith, and harmony.
