Rev. Jason Harms, Pastor:
How would
you describe what you do in your ministry
area at Asbury?
My focus and passion for ministry is on
helping create an environment as the Body of
Christ where the needs of this world are met
by the truth and love of Christ. I’m
able to be a part of that at Asbury through
relevant contemporary worship, meaningful
small groups, and passionate service to
others.
I
also see myself as a ministry coach,
encouraging and helping church members and
staff to become better equipped in their own
call to ministry.
Family:
My wife, Wendy, and I have two beautiful
children, Emily and James.
What are some hobbies or
interests you have outside of what you do at
Asbury?
Anything I get to do with my family is fun!
I enjoy jogging, computers, and following
MSU sports (go Dawgs!) when I have the time.
And I will rarely turn down an invite to
catch a movie.
What are some favorite
music/books/movies you like?
My favorite author is C.S. Lewis, though
I’ve always been a Sherlock Holmes fan.
Favorite music? Third Day, Jack Johnson, &
The Eagles. Movies? Casablanca, The Natural,
Finding Nemo.

Kelly Holder, Worship Leader:
How would you describe what
you do in your ministry area at Asbury?
I have the incredible honor
of participating in planning and
implementing corporate worship experiences
at Asbury. I work specifically in the area
of worship arts, collaborating with the
worship planning team to create ways in
which our congregation may experience God
through music, drama, dance and other
artistic expressions. I then work to
execute these plans with our faithful
volunteers who have answered God's call to
lead in worship through the arts. It is my sincere
prayer that the corporate worship
experiences at Asbury will encourage and
challenge God's people to worship Him
individually every moment of every day.
Family:
I am married to the wonderful Will
Holder. We have one child - a Chinese pug named
Buster.
What are some hobbies or
interests you have outside of what you do at
Asbury?
My interests include
scrapbooking, playing music, watching
movies, reading, sleeping, watching sports (Go
Seminoles!! Go Yankees!!), traveling and hanging out with Brian
Hinnant.
What are some favorite
music/books/movies you like?
I love Chris Tomlin music and
whoever is on "Americal Idol.' My favorite
books include The Way I Way Made (italics)
by Chris Tomlin and anything from Max Lucado,
Louie Giglio or Nicholas Sparks. My
favorite movies include "Sleepless in
Seattle," "Never Been Kissed," and "The
Replacements."
