My Name is David Schmidt and I am very excited to be joining Beargrass Christian Church as your new Facilities Director.

Here’s a little bit about me:
I come to you with over 40 years of Bldg. Industrial Facilities and Operations Management experience. I have been in everything from Commercial, Medical and industrial areas of operations and am very happy to bring my knowledge and skills toolbox to Beargrass. I am a single father with 3 adult daughters and 4 Grandchildren.  My daughters are Grace, 33, (twins) Hannah, 32 and Madeline, 32. The love of my life and life partner of 9 years is Jennifer. In addition to facilities and infrastructure management, I am a skilled wood worker and horticulturalist.   

I appreciate the opportunity to provide a few details about the who I am and to share my gratitude to all the folks at Beargrass who have brought me on board for this exciting journey.  I hope I will exceed all expectations. I am here to serve and excel, as we all are, and I look forward to many years of success and making friends along the way. 

In closing, thank you for this opportunity and thank you for all the kind welcoming words I have received so far! I sincerely look forward to meeting everyone in the congregation at some point. If you are in the building, please find me and say hello. My email address is [email protected].
