When you are a member at NAOBC, no matter where God takes you, the love for NAOBC remains. It’s part of your DNA. Periodically we’ll spotlight women who were former members – see where they are today and what NAOBC means to them. Today we’re meeting Katie Duncan.

Q: Tell a little about yourself – family, occupation (if applicable), etc. 

A: Robert is the pastor at Cash Creek Baptist Church. Lucie is in ninth grade and is involved in archery and wrestling during the school year and works with horses in the summer time. She really loves our dogs, especially Piper, who is a lab mix. Mollie is in sixth grade and is involved in archery and track. She now has braces and is very excited about that. She loves all things girly and our dogs, especially Copper, our chocolate lab. Maggie is in fourth grade and is involved in wrestling and softball. She loves being outside and playing with Misty, our outdoor cat. I am now an EMT with Deaconess EMS and I love it!

Q: When did you attend NAOBC? What brought you to NAOBC?

A: We attended NAOBC during the years of 2015-2019. We were invited. We planned on trying different churches, but never got past NAOBC. Robert and I said, “why try another one when we know we already love it here!?”

Q: Where did you serve while at NAOBC?

A: Robert was a door greeter, I was for a short time as well. I also helped out in AWANA.

Q: What memory from your time at NAOBC means the most to you still today?

A. The years of 2016-2018 were some of the worst years of our lives. We had 10-12 family members pass away, divorce due to affairs, a fatal car accident, Robert’s health began to decline (that is still going on), multiple trips to the ER, etc. The way our BFG came through for us time and time again was unreal. There really are no way words can describe how deep our gratitude and appreciation is for them. I often think about how many times they came through for us in so many unexpected ways. One way that stands out is when a friend pulled an all nighter with me in the ER with my youngest, Maggie. I wiLL forever remember that gesture of love.

Q: What is one thing you loved about NAOBC?

A: I loved that even though we were in such a large church, it still felt like home. It is a community of believers. You can truly feel God’s presence each and every time you walk through the doors. People are genuine and genuinely care. NAOBC is a hidden gem in Louisville.
