Vernon "Carey" Hammett and his family of 5 have come to us from Carey's hometown of Greenville, MS. Carey and his wife Molly have been blessed with 3 wonderful children: Dan(5) Annabelle(2) and Jack(5 mo). Carey is a graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. Carey and his wife Molly formerly served for 8 years as inner-city missionaries in "South City" St. Louis, MO working with Hush Harbor Construction Company and Gateway for Kids youth discipleship. For the last 2 years Carey was blessed with the opportunity to serve as the Assistant Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Greenville, MS. The Hammett family are ecstatic to now be a part of God's mission here on the coast. Carey has a deep and abiding love for God's word and for preaching. Additionally, Carey has always been an avid outdoorsman, so the exceptional numbers of fish and fishermen in the Bay area are an exciting new mission field for him. Molly has always been blessed with a heart for the poor and disadvantaged and the opportunity to participate in the outreach ministries available in the Lagniappe community promise to offer her ample challenges in addition to her responsibilities at home.
