Heather
Lopane, Co-Director.
I am married to Frank and have three boys, ages
12, 14 and 16. We have been blessed to be a part of
StoneBridge for the past nine years. Over this
time, StoneBridge has come to feel like family to
us. My life is busy with carpools and sporting
events, but I am excited that God has called me to
serve through my role with Vine Life Ministries. I
am passionate about helping women to build
relationships here so that they may become part of
our church family and God’s kingdom. I pray that
God uses this ministry to draw women into a
relationship with Him.
Kelly
Dockery, Co-Director.
My husband and I have been part of the
StoneBridge chuch family since 1996 and it is
amazing to see how God has grown and shaped our
church in these years. He is working mightily in
and through the lives of the women of StoneBridge
and I am constantly humbled at how his plan is
better than mine. It is a privilege to be serving
as co-director of the Women’s Ministry. I get to be
in a position to witness women growing in their
love and knowledge of Jesus Christ, as well as
seeing new and deep relationships with each other
being formed through the various opportunities we
provide for fellowship and community. Our God is
all about relationships, and I love serving
alongside an awesome group of women who have a
heart for enfolding women into the life of our
church. It is our earnest prayer that through our
ministry, hearts and lives will be changed and the
love of God will be so visible and real, that we
can’t resist Him!
Jennifer
Ashford, Enrichment Branch Leader.
My husband Jim and I became members of
Stonebridge about seven years ago. The warm
welcome, the sense of connectedness in the
Stonebridge body and the authentic, bible based
teaching drew us here. We have three precious boys
- Spencer, Michael and Harrison. Serving on the
Enrichment branch is a joy and privilege because I
get to witness firsthand how God is transforming
women’s lives – through growing relationships,
studying and learning His Word, and through praying
together.
Laura
Bansek, Fellowship Branch
Leader.
I am so excited about being on the Women’s Ministry
Team and serving as Fellowship Coordinator. I have
served on this team before, as wll as on the
Women’s Ministry Team at our church in Alabama. I
love providing opportunities for women to form
friendships and encourage one another. My husband
Rob and I started attending StoneBridge 9 years ago
when we moved here from Alabama. We have three
children, Kelsey, Andrew and
Austin.
Jenny
Cox, Outreach Branch Leader.
My husband, Tom, and I came to Stonebridge
January of 1995. From the first time we visited, we
knew we'd found our church home! The body of
Stonebridge reached out to us and made us feel
loved and welcome. We have been actively involved
since the beginning. We began as greeters. We
wanted to make others feel as welcome as we had
been. I served as the Treasurer for the church for
several years and have been the Pastor Appreciation
Committee chair for about 6 years.
Galatians 6: 2 tells us to bear one another's
burdens. This body helped to carry us through a 6
year trial of infertility. They prayed for us
through the pregnancy and premature birth of our
first son. They rejoiced with us as we brought
Samuel and then two years later Isaac home. I am
excited to be a part of Stonebridge's Women's
Ministry Outreach Branch. God wants us to take all
of the love that He pours into us and splash it all
over others. What a joy to see others come into the
church and get to know Jesus. There are so many
hurting in our world, so many who need the radical
love of our awesome God. Come join us as we grow in
love and knowledge of our Savior and then go out to
tells others the good news.

I love the outdoors- hiking and picnicking with my
family. Enjoy animals, dogs and horses, but am now
enjoying birds, especially our new pet parrot,
Sammy. Love being a wife to a wonderful husband and
mom of beautiful girls and one loveable boy. Enjoy
working as a substitute teacher for our elementary
school. Love the body of Christ, especially our
Lord Jesus. Passion is reading the Word and
prayer!
