Carla Story-Divoll
Hospitality Director

Originally from the South, Carla moved to Sutton about 20 years ago to raise her family. Her sisters (Carla is one of triplets) serve the Lord as missionaries in the world. She joined Legacy Church a few years ago and recently took over our hospitality team and shows her southern roots in the way she takes care of this ministry. She is highly knowledgeable in the Bible and loves to answer questions and challenge people to grow in their faith.

​Seeking Student Ministries Director

​We have a small but growing student ministry. Pastor Don and Natalie McKinnon can only meet once a month with their schedules and other overseeing ministries. The area has an enormous potential to reach students with the love of Jesus as the area has several new families moving in, and students use the baseball field and basketball court in the back of the church.
If interested, please email the church at hello@legacysutton.com for more information.
