Paul Hendricks

Paul married Connie in 1976, three years after giving his life to Jesus as a college freshman. They have two grown, married daughters, and five grandchildren. Paul holds two business degrees, and spent most of his career in the computer software and services industry. Church backgrounds include traditional liturgical, evangelical and charismatic. Paul’s family moved to Morris in 2004, and has attended MCC since then. Paul and Connie have been active in home groups, counseling, inner healing, teaching kids and adults, and college ministry. They love to work as a team in ministry. They believe that knowing who God really is and experiencing His love is the core to spiritual growth, and that the best measure of spiritual maturity is one’s ability to selflessly love and serve others as an out-flowing of love for God. They eagerly anticipate MCC growing in the fullness of God’s presence and power – both personally and corporately.
