We were excited to have Dan and Carol Ritchie come forward and share their desire to become part of the Bella Vista Christian family on Sunday, January 22.
Dan and Carol moved to Bella Vista last summer from Aurora, CO. Dan worked for the Department of Defense for 35+ years, so the family relocated quite a few times through their lives, including some years in Korea and Okinawa, Japan.
Carol worked outside the home early in their married life, but enjoyed caring for her family as they made new homes over the years. They have three sons. Two remain in Colorado and one resides in New Orleans. They also have three grandchildren.
The Ritchie’s joined the Bella Vista Christian family on Jan. 22, 2012 after finding a place that loves young families and is growing. Dan has always been involved in the jail ministry and was drawn to BVCC’s service in this area. He is also very musical and has joined the Fusion singers and will play his guitar at The Forge men's dinner. Carol wants to become more involved in the Women’s Ministry at BVCC. They both enjoy learning history, traveling, going to the gym, and reading.
Dan and Carol have a passion to serve others. He volunteers weekly with the Genesis House in Siloam Springs, while Carol serves the young women at Saving Grace in Rogers regularly.
