Kurt Clark

Kurt was born in El Paso, Texas but grew up on a 20 acre farm in New Mexico.

He was brought up in a non-instrumental Church of Christ.

In 1988, Kurt married his wife Kris and they have two kids Matthew and Kaylan, however, they did not agree on a church to attend. They are from extremely different backgrounds and could not agree on a Church denomination. It was after many years, mistakes, and problems that they knew they had to turn their lives around.  Kurt and Kris found that Church would be an important part of their life.  They started attending Church in Dallas and then moved to Florida.  Soon after moving to Florida they became members here at the First Christian Church of MI. 

Kurt always wanted to serve the Church in any function. As a Deacon and now an Elder, feels very fortunate to have this experience - to be able to serve as a part of a Church family that seeks to do God's will in all things.

Dean Orr

Dean was born on Kindley Air Force Base, Bermuda; the son of Master Sergeant Leo Orr of Michigan and Beverly Orr of West Virginia. Dean’s Father resides in Orlando, Florida.  His Mother has gone to be with the Lord.  Having spent most of his life on various military bases, Dean traveled much during his youth. Among more than 12 locations before finishing high school, Dean lived in the Philippines and Turkey. From a very young age Dean was exposed to the message of Jesus. His mother often taught him and his brothers about Jesus. His father always took the family to Church, usually the base chapel.

The family moved to Satellite Beach in 1977 when his father was stationed there, and finished out his Air Force Career at Patrick Air Force Base.  Dean attended The University of Central Florida and after getting his electrical engineering degree, he entered the Air Force as a Lieutenant.  After a short stay in the Air Force he went to Kennedy Space Center where he has worked since 1987 for Lockheed and NASA.

Dean married Colleen in 1994 and they have two children, Vance and Melanie. Colleen is involved in the nursery Program and has taught  Sunday School for children in the past. Dean has played drums in Praise and Worship Bands in the past and currently enjoys playing with our own Church Praise Band. Dean was actively involved in Prison Fellowship Ministry in Brevard County for several years. He was formerly a Deacon leading the Family Crisis Ministry. Dean has been an Elder at FCCMI for several years and has attended this church since 2000.

Dennis Theoret

Dennis was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 14, 1959.  In 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis, my Dad took an engineering position with Douglas Aircraft in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.  In 1966, we moved to snowy Syracuse, New York where I spent most of my childhood.  Following high school, I earned an associates degree in forestry and took a position on the Rogue River National Forest in southern Oregon marking timber and fighting wildfires.  After working a few years out west, I returned to college for B.S. and M.S degrees in geology. I met my wonderful wife, Shirley, while attending graduate school at The University of Akron.  We were married on August 29, 1987, and started attending North Syracuse Christian Church (NSCC) shortly thereafter.  We were both baptized by Michael Brown on the evening of March 6, 1988, and on the evening of March 6, 1990 (exactly 2 years later) Shirley went into labor to give birth to our first daughter.  During our 5 years at NSCC, we served together as nursery and Sunday school teachers.  We have been blessed with two healthy girls: Sandra (born March 7, 1990) and Valerie (born July 31, 1991).

In late1992, Dennis accepted a company transfer to open an office and manage environmental engineering and geology work in east-central Florida.  Shortly after moving to Florida, we placed membership at First Christian Church of Merritt Island. Both girls were baptized at FCCMI by Preston Free. Shirley started and still interprets in the deaf ministry, and also serves as the guest ministry leader. Dennis served as a finance deacon in the mid-1990s, and has served as an elder since the late-1990s.
