Harry Harris

CHAIRMAN

After moving to The Villages, Harry joined Fairway and began his church service. He worked on several projects that led him to becoming one of the Deacons where he became Secretary and Vice Chairman. He is also the Ministry Group Leader over the Membership Ministries.

Meet Harry and Mary Harris.

Jerry Benware

ELDER

Jerry grew up in the Catholic Church and began reading scripture and attending Bible studies in a Christian Church in 1997, when he met Barb, his wife. He gave his life to Christ in 2004 when he was baptized at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY. He became active in life groups, Bible study classes and men’s Bible study. In 2015, he sold his business and he and Barb retired. After arriving at The Villages, searching for a Christian church was the first order of business. Our criteria were Bible believing, walking, teaching and growing church. Fairway Christian Church was a perfect match!
