Leadership

In 2008, pastors Jimmy and Debra pioneered Real Life Church in Traveler's Rest with seven strangers in a hotel room. Our pastors are both graduates of Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They also served the Kingdom of God as missionaries, preaching the Gospel in more than 25 nations.

Now, having pioneered RLC, they are committed to our congregation, community, and region.

Cleve and Evonne are life-long residents of the Upstate. They are empowered by an all consuming love for God and His people, they minister non-stop. The Oliphants are worship leaders, staff counselors, and all around awesome. They are a true blessing to the RLC family.

Faithful is the word that describes Sis. Fowler. Committed to keeping the administrative side of the ministry flowing smoothly, Sis. Flower works tirelessly to make sure that communications are flowing and the data is all spot on. She is who to contact if you have any questions regarding the data side of RLC, connect with Sis. Fowler.

Dedicated to Children's education for over a decade, Aja Sherrad shines in her calling of working with children.  Wife, mother, and business owner with a BA in Early Childhood, Aja serves Jesus and His precious children wholeheartedly.

Sandra is a one of a kind gem. Her official title is Minster of We Care but her job description is too long to be listed here. She will do whatever is nescceary for any and every individual at RLC- We Care! If Sandra is not yet your friend, you NEED Sandra to be your friend!
