Ken Anderson – Lay Elder – ken@firmfamilychurch.org
1975 was a big year for me. That was the year the Lord revealed himself to me and I began following him – a journey that continues to this day.
That was also the year Nancy and I fell in love. We married two years later, and another lifelong journey began, one that also continues to this day. We have been blessed with four children, all now married, and seven grandchildren so far.
We have both been involved is many different ministry activities over the years including serving as InterVasity staff at Sonoma and Chico State colleges from 1978-1986. Then, as we transitioned from full time ministry to rice farming, we began serving at Chico Evangelical Free Church. Our time there as missions committee leaders led to international ministry in Russia, Nepal, and Asia. I am serving now as a self-supporting missionary with Biblical Education by Extension, mainly in Asia.
Nancy has an MA in Nutrition Education and is a Registered Dietician. She has worked in the nutrition field and taught nutrition at both Butte and Chico State.
I retired from 35 years of farming rice in 2019. I have an MA in missiology and hope to complete a missiology doctorate in 2022.
I look forward to serving Firm Family Church as an elder and hope to contribute to our fellowship’s kingdom impact in Chico and beyond.
