Born in Corpus Christi, TX, Don Dye grew up loving Jesus and sports. He met Sue while attending Abilene Christian University, where he ran track. Don and Sue married, and God gave them two children, Danna and Dale. Don’s aptitude for sports led him to coach basketball and track in Abilene. His ministry began as a chaplain for the Harris County Sheriff Department. Later, he served as the first full-time chaplain for the Houston Astros baseball and the Houston Oilers football teams. His love for Jesus led Don to pastor several churches in the Houston area and plant churches in various Texas cities. While planting churches, he subsidized his income with a computer graphic business and was banking vice-president over marketing, advertising, and security. In the early 2000s, Don and Sue moved to the Austin area, where he served as lead chaplain for the Round Rock Police Department for 13 years. Now he is privileged to lead the Care Ministry and Prime Timers here at The Fellowship Church.

Jayme began her service at the Fellowship Church as a greeter and in 2016 began leading one of the Saturday service greeting teams. She retired in July 2020 from the State of Texas after 22 years of service, which has blessed her with more devoted time with John, her husband of 21 years. Soon after, God called her to The Stephen Ministry, and she was commissioned by the Church in November 2020. Most recently, she was trained to be a Stephen Leader and currently is a Co-Leader Team Coordinator for The Fellowship's Stephen Ministry.

When Bonnie was 6, her parents began taking the whole family downtown to help in the kitchen of the Albuquerque Rescue Mission, a Christian homeless shelter for men. Her parents volunteered there for over 50 years. All through high school, Bonnie worked with various churches in soup kitchens for the homeless. Much later, she worked at the Calvary Chapel Food Pantry in Albuquerque.

Her family and five other families started the non-denominational ABQ Christian Center, which grew to 10,000 people in the 1970s. During this time of growth, Bonnie helped build and organize a Christian coffee house, which grew in conjunction with a local Christian radio station called KLYT. This ministry targeted high school and college students and grew to several hundred who attended on Friday and Saturday nights.

Although Bonnie never taught Bible study, she was very involved with the Women's Bible Study Ministry at Calvary Chapel. She has taught every age of Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. Her favorite age group was 10-12-year-old boys.

In the early 1980s Bonnie attended several medical missions in the Dominican Republic, where her older brother was a missionary. She loved working with the many Christian and secular organizations who joined forces to help, such as Catholic Relief, USAID, Medical Missions International, Peace Corps, and Lifewater, Inc.

Christie has served as the GriefShare Program Director/Shepherd for five years. She learned of GriefShare in 2013 after her mother's sudden death. Christie was invited to participate in a GriefShare class at her mother's church where she was able to find comfort among others who had also experienced the death of a loved one. She also learned how to lean into her relationship with God for strength and healing from her loss. Christie prayed about starting a GriefShare class at The Fellowship, and in the fall of 2016, she and her co-leader began the first class.

Christie is constantly amazed at how God continues to heal broken hearts and comfort those who mourn through GriefShare classes and events. God has been so faithful to turn mourning into joy, and through their healing, many GriefShare participants have become volunteers sharing their hope with others.

Kayla has served in GriefShare® since 2017. Having no prior knowledge of the program, she learned about GriefShare® when she and her family joined the Fellowship church. Having lost her middle child in 2013, Kayla was eager to learn more about the program. She learned that not only did GriefShare® offer realistic and applicable advice for those grieving the loss of a loved one, but it did so with Biblical guidance and direction. This was something she personally struggled through in her own grief journey and was instantly drawn into the ministry. She is thankful to walk alongside the bereaved as they find healing, hope, and joy.
