Welcome new staff!

LONI FANCHER | Director of Youth Ministries

Loni Fancher spent most of her time at Fuller Theological Seminary studying faith and contemporary culture because she wants to help people see God at work in the world. Now, Loni spends her time with teenagers and refuses to grow up. Her passion is helping students fall in love with Jesus and make their faith their own. She’s always up for grabbing coffee or tacos with anyone (teens or adults) who wants to chat. As a native Texan, she’s a die-hard Texas Rangers fan...like seriously...it’s a problem. She lives with her two adorable dogs, Desdemona and Mercutio, & has a YouTube channel where she reads novels she thinks everyone should’ve read by now. No matter what anyone says, she was into collecting mustaches before mustaches were cool. Loni will be joining us later in December.

BETH HENKEL | Video Production Specialist

Beth Henkel joined the FUMC of Arlington staff in October as part of the Communications Team. Her specialty is video production and she will help tell the stories about our church, our ministries and how we are sharing the love of Christ.

Beth and her husband Al joined FUMCA in 2005 and their three boys, Alex, Danny, and Steven, were all actively involved in children’s and youth ministries. Al is a member of the Chancel Choir and Beth’s volunteer time at church has been focused in the youth and children ministry areas. They live with Beth’s mom, Lorraine, and a very bossy Australian Shepherd named Ranger.

LINDA BARRY | Video Intern

Linda is a broadcast journalism student at the University of Texas at Arlington who you'll see around on Sunday mornings! She helps record services, edits the 11:00 am Sanctuary & Revive services, and gets them posted to Vimeo and Facebook so they can be viewed online.
