Roger Henderson
Roger Henderson – Raised in Miami, Florida, and educated as an Electrical Engineer at the University of Florida and the University of Colorado at Denver. He accepted Christ as his Savior while working at a U.S. Base in North Yorkshire, England, after learning about his need for a Savior while attending a home Bible study and listening to tapes of messages from God’s word. He met his wife, Vonnie, at a church young adult group in Denver and they have three children Mark, Carrie and Ryan. He met Hal Molloy while working at Hughes Aircraft (now Raytheon) in Aurora, CO, and continued Hal’s Bible study (upon Hal’s retirement), at Buckley Air Force Base. Learning about our identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection was an important turning point in his study of Scripture. Roger’s desire is that others might grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ.
Vern Peterman
Vern Peterman – Raised in his earlier years at Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, California, Vern became a believer at 4 ½ years. Vern grew up partly in the suburbs and partly on a small family farm. In 1970 he met Nancy Martin at a Bible study, and they were married in 1973 (after they got over not liking each other). Vern and Nancy have always been involved in (and often Vern led) home Bible studies with adults and/or youth groups. Interspersed between a few attempts to go to the mission field in Latin America, Vern has been mostly a civil engineer, but also a mechanical engineer, marketing manager, financial manager, construction worker, and high school teacher. Vern and Nancy have three grown children. After four years of part time and full time work on a program at Tyndale Seminary (D.Min.), Vern has been an under shepherd at Holly Hills Bible Church since August 2001.
Hal Molloy
Hal Molloy – Born, raised, and educated (electrical engineering) in New York City, Hal headed west to Los Angeles (Hughes Aircraft Company) and worked on the aerospace program to soft-land the first spacecraft on the moon. Hal heard the gospel for the first time from a Senior Staff Engineer and saw the life of Christ being lived through this engineer. Hal began questioning issues like whether the Bible truly was the word of God and whether science agreed with the Bible. Several years later Hal put his faith in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ,and began teaching Sunday School in Los Angeles. Transferring to Denver in 1970, he continued teaching at Holly Hills Bible Church, and also ran some work-based Bible studies at Buckley Air force Base. Through continued self-study in the Bible and its original languages (Hebrew and Greek) – Hal retired from Aerospace Engineering in 1990, and then served as Pastor of Holly Hills Bible Church from 1992-2000. He married Lindy in 1962 and as of July 2002, they have four children and four grandchildren. Hal’s desire was that of the Lord’s: to be conformed to the image of Christ and to minister to those of like desire.
Note: On November 16, 2006, Hal walked through Heaven’s Gates and is now Face to face with his (and our!) precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
