Staff and Leadership

Here at Cary Christian Church, we take the Bible as the true word of God, and try our best to obey its commands.  In the New Testament description of the church, there are explicit instructions as to who can serve as Elders and Deacons.  These instructions are mainly out of Paul's Epistles: 1 Timothy and Titus. While we recognize other churches as true Christians, we recognize no governing body above our Elders.  Our Elders, Deacons, and Ministers are all voted on by our local congregation, after a thorough investigation and interview process.  Other Staff members are appointed by these brothers, and serve under their authority.  And we would be remiss if we didn't mention that we have many many volunteers who serve in a multitude of positions so that we can serve each other and the community at large.

Sam was born and raised in a preacher’s family in the Southwest United States (Oklahoma and New Mexico). He was ready to attend the Univ. of Oklahoma (having been born and bred a Sooner fan), until he met some students from Roanoke Bible College and was moved to change his life’s plan entirely.  Over the years, Sam has served in a number of ministry positions, both as a job and as just a guy in the church – preacher, teacher, elder, worship team leader, choir director, morning drive man for WPJL in Raleigh, worship minister, and Bible College professor.   Sam and Marlys were married in 1991, and were members here at CCC from 1992 to 2000.  They’ve now returned to pick up the ministries and friendships they left behind.  Click here to send Sam an email.

Youth and Family Minister - Josh Dowdy

I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA (grew up just 20 minutes south of Atlanta).  I also lived in Alaska (very short time), Florida, Kentucky, and now my favorite NORTH CAROLINA.  One of my favorite jobs ever was working for Walt Disney World.  I have been married for 8 years to my beautiful bride Melissa and we have 4 wonderful children ranging in ages from 2 yrs old to 7 years old.  I graduated from Kentucky Christian University this past May with a degree in Youth and Family Ministry.  Click here to send Josh an email.
