I am very grateful for the impact the church has had on my life and that of my wife and children.  The experiences I have shared with my fellow Christians have helped shape me into the man I am today.  I want to thank the Lord first, my family, and our church, for allowing me to serve.

Morley is married to Diane Krieger for 46 years.  Diane was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  They have two grown daughters and five grandchildren.  All live, after many years, in the Waldorf area.

As a Deacon, he desires to serve the needs of the FBCSC, Pastors and members as called upon.

Ted was born in the city of Arnhem, Holland on July 14, 1958. He married his wife, Sophia in 1986. Not knowing what to do when he came out of school, he started as a waiter in a newly opened restaurant at the age of 17. From here, he never looked back. Ted worked in 12 different free-standing restaurants in the next 10 years, before he accepted the position as a cook at the Marriott hotel in Amsterdam. After being there for over 6 years and being promoted to a supervisory position, Marriott moved Ted & Sophia to New Orleans in 1989. This is where both their sons, Mark and Brian, were born. From New Orleans, they moved a few more times and lived in Columbus, OH and Buffalo, NY, before settling in Waldorf in 2001. After Ted worked at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center as a contracting chef for 4 years, he had the opportunity to become a Federal employee in that same position. In that same period, the family started coming to this church and in 2005, Ted accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. God has guided him from that time on. Ted’s work at Walter Reed is very important to him as it is a little of the help he can give our wounded warriors on the road to healing and returning to their respective homes. Besides being a Deacon, Ted is also the chef and a sound technician at the church. He is teaching God’s Word on Wednesday nights and recently started leading the men’s ministry.

Dick became a Deacon at FBCSC in 1985 and during the time at FBCSC has served as Chairman of Deacons, Human Resource Committee Chairman, on two Pastor Search Committees and numerous other committees and positions in the church.  His greatest joy was when he and his wife (Faith) worked with the children in the church through the Goppet (Puppet) Ministry (20 years) spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ across Southern Maryland Malls and Fair Grounds, to Kentucky and Rhode Island; even to the White House visitors in Washington DC.

He is currently participating in the Masters 12 Discipleship program and knows that

God has blessed him and his family in many ways and serves at the pleasure of God and the church.

His favorite scripture verse is Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) which says; “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Dick was born on 6 November 1942 and raised in the southern tier of New York State his parents that took him to church; but never went.  He graduated from Waverly High School (1960) and later earned an Associate of Science Degree from Mohegan Community College in Norwich, Connecticut.  He joined the Navy in June 1962 and married my wife (Faith) in May 1963.  They had three (3) children (Richard, Ron and Dianna) who are married and have their own families.

He was first commissioned as a deacon in 1981 while attending the Middletown Baptist Church in Rhode Island.  He has completed an in depth Discipleship program (Master Life).  God continued to work in his life and he was transferred to Washington, DC in 1983 where he served as the Engineering Program Manager for all non nuclear surface ships afloat.  In August 1984 they bought their current home in Waldorf and began a search for a church.  After visiting a few churches they found that God in his infinite wisdom had brought them to the First Baptist Church of St. Charles

He has traveled the world over while in the Navy and had many interesting jobs including 5 years on recruiting duty, 2 years as criminal investigator in Iceland, taught Naval Engineering curriculum for 3 years.  The first ship (USS Barry DD 933) he served on is currently in the Navy Yard at Anacostia.  He served as the Protestant Lay Leader and Command Senior Chief Petty Officer onboard the USS Charles F. Adams (DDG 2).  He also served onboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV 42) and USS Forrestal (CV 59).

He retired from the Navy on November 30, 1985 and worked as a government contractor for 22 years and remains on the corporate employee list (on call) even though retired on January 2008.
