Pastor

Kyle Emery

Thank you for taking the time to check out our website and specifically to look at our staff page. I am honored to have been called to lead this great group of believers! A little about me: I have been married to my wonderful wife Emily for almost 7 years and the Lord has blessed us with three energetic boys. I was born and raised in Hutchinson Kansas and was blessed to have godly parents who made sure that I knew the truth about Christ! I accepted Christ and made Him the Lord of my life at a young age and felt the Lord calling me into ministry when I was 18. I graduated from Southwest Baptist University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Prior to accepting the call to serve at Sharon I was the pastor at Zion Hill Baptist Church in Centralia Illinois. I am excited to get started and look forward to what God is going to do here at Sharon Baptist. 

Youth/Media Pastor

TJ Blount

I love my job/calling.  I have been working with youth since 2001 and still love it.  I was born and raised in Oklahoma and moved to the Wichita area in 2008.  I have two kids, a son Daxton, ten years old, and a daughter Zoe, eight years old.  In my spare time I love watching Marvel movies and am a super fan of Captain America.  I love learning about the universe and this amazing world our Creator made for us.  Here at Sharon I have three main goals. First, is to teach and train youth to love God with all their HEART, SOUL, and MIND; each of which are very important.  My second goal is to raise youth that are active members of the body of Christ.  Lastly, is to have fun doing all this.  We all need to learn that following Christ can be fun.  From trips, movies, games, and simply hanging out; we accomplish this! 

Worship Ministry Coordinator

Dana Spurgeon

“How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!” (Psalm 147:1)

Worship and praise is our response to God for Who He is and what He has done for us.  What a joy to be part of that here at Sharon Baptist Church. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve in the area of music ministry.  I became a Christian at the age of eight. When I was 11, my elementary music teacher asked me to accompany her solo for the morning worship service. Discovering that I could play piano for the Lord and His church was a life-changing experience, and I’ve been involved in church music ever since!  God graciously allowed me to pursue a career in music education.  I have a Bachelor of Music Education degree, Master of Music Education degree and a PhD in Choral Music. Over a span of about 25 years, I have taught at the middle school, high school and college levels, and given private lessons in piano and voice.  God also graciously gave me my husband, Allen, and we’ve been members of Sharon for almost 20 years.  I’ve played the organ and piano here almost that many years, then joined the staff in March, 2015.  For me, there’s no better way to serve God and His people. It IS good when the people of God sing His praise.

Children's Ministry Coordinator

Becky Stanfield

Sharon Baptist Church has been the church home for my husband and I since 2008.  We love the people of this church and raising our children here.  My family enjoys time together bike riding, playing games, reading, asking questions, and finding new things to do.  After the birth of our third daughter in 2016, I resigned from my position as a middle school science teacher in order to spend more time with our little ones and substitute teach.  A few months later, I accepted the opportunity to serve as the Interim Children’s Ministry Coordinator.  During my time in this position, I hope to bring our church closer to the families in the community and provide a safe, fun, learning environment for the children that are a part of SBC!
