Carla Whitlow
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
When did you join the staff and what is your position?
January 7, 2007 – Director of Operations
Where were you born and raised?
Born and raised in a small southwestern town in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia – Wytheville, VA
Do you have family?
I have two adult daughters, and two adult granddaughters, and one grandson, a great-granddaughter, and a great-grandson.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I enjoy free time with my family and friends. My grandson lives in Wilmington so we have weekly “Nana” time! I also enjoy dinner and time spent with special friends. I enjoy flowers and yard work, and looking forward to someday having time to re-invent my golf game
What drew you to this job?
I joined the church in 2000, and in 2006 my job was advertised in the Sunday Church Bulletin. I had been involved in the construction industry as office manager/administrator for most of my career, and in 2006 this industry was spiraling into a down turn. At the time, I was working for a new struggling contractor, and could see the writing on the wall. I truly felt at that time, God was blessing me with this position, and thought working for a church would be a piece of cake! Little did I know! But years later here I am, and MOST days, it is a blessing!
