“For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29: 11
Romans 5:5 changed his life almost 20 years ago; God-centered HOPE, anchored by LOVE through the Holy Spirit NEVER disappoints.

Ken & Janet Walker
Elders
The leaders of the West Huntington Care Group, Ken and Janet Walker have been followers of Christ for many years. They were living in Colorado when some personal problems forced them to acknowledge their need for a Savior.
Ken is a longtime freelance writer and book editor who enjoys watching football and basketball, reading, gardening, and spending time with their grandchildren (and great-grandchildren). One of his favorite scriptures is one he memorized soon after they accepted Jesus: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Janet worked as an accountant for 15 years before earning her master’s of divinity in missions from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. She is the director of The Storehouse, Celebration’s food distribution program. Her favorite scripture is Romans 12:1, which tells us that living our lives according to God’s purpose is the reasonable way to worship Him. She enjoys reading, watching BBC DVD’s, and playing board games with family.
