Brian Weir
Fellowship Kids Director
Brian was born and raised in Martinsburg, WV and graduated from WVU in 2001. After living eight years in North Carolina, Brian and his high school sweetheart, Tracy, with whom he will be celebrating 20 years of marriage this year, moved to Stephens City in 2009 and soon began attending FBC. After getting plugged in quickly with a community group, they found FBC to be their home and began serving in Children's Ministry. An avid sports fan, Brian loves coaching Aubrey's softball team and supporting Sophie in volleyball. When the girls aren't playing they are rooting for the Washington Nationals or the Mountaineers. The Weir's are excited for this opportunity the Lord has presented to them and look forward to serving FBC's children, their families, and the many volunteers it takes to make this a thriving ministry.
Betsy Masterson
Administrative Assistant, Kids
Betsy grew up in Pittsburgh, PA before moving to Northern Virginia thirty-three years ago. She is a retired public-school librarian with experience at both the elementary and middle school levels. Betsy has lived in Winchester for a little over a year and has been attending FBC for the same amount of time. She is a participant in Women in the Word and served in the preschool during FSAT. In her free time, Betsy enjoys reading, watching football~ an avid Mountaineer and Steeler fan, and spending time with her great niece and nephew.
Jamie Fahnestock
Preschool Coordinator
Jamie was born and raised in Roanoke, VA setting herself as a mountain girl. After college, at Longwood University, she tried the beach life but soon learned being in the mountains is where she belongs. She moved to Winchester in 2006 and continued to teach in public schools. The next year she began attending FBC. While volunteering in the coffee ministry she met her husband, Caleb. They now have three energetic children. When she is not busy helping preschoolers connect with Christ she is busy keeping up her home, helping with their farm, and spending time with her family.
Allisa Avery
Nursery Coordinator
Having grown up in the church, Allisa is now excited to serve at FBC in this capacity. As the daughter of Pastor Carey, she moved to Virginia from Nebraska in 1990. She went to Lancaster Bible College and received degrees in Elementary Education and Bible. She went on to teach for almost 7 years in the public school system, married Joshua Avery, and resigned from teaching when their first daughter was born in 2014. Josh and Allisa have 3 kids whom she homeschools with coffee in hand. She also has the privilege of teaching 3-year-olds as well as a homeschool group at a local preschool. This position as nursery coordinator comes as a blessing to their family. Allisa is always thinking and working toward making the nursery ministry a blessing and encouragement for the littlest members of our church as well as their parents.
Heather Holmes
Children's Ministry Coordinator (FSat)
Heather is married to husband Michael, and they have five children (two of whom are teenagers!). As the nursery and preschool coordinator for Fellowship Saturday, she is able to get her “baby fix” by loving on and sharing Jesus with some super sweet babies, toddlers, and preschoolers every week. Heather desires to provide a nurturing atmosphere for the little ones in her care so that all members of the family can have a positive, faith- building experience. This position has been a blessing to Heather and her family who jump at the chance to serve alongside her each Saturday.
