TJ Messer

Recreation & Childrens Pastor



I have been here at FBC Artesia for four years. I love running the TLC and all the fun activities that come with being a REC minister. Also, Nancy and I really feel an extra blessing to be able to work with the FBC children’s ministry and help them grow in the Lord.
