Jeff Bailey
Worship Leader

Music has always played an important role in my life.  Several genres of music have influenced me from the songs of Frank Sinatra to Classic Country to Soul to Gospel.  I fell in love with hymns of the faith at an early age.  It was through my love of Gospel music that I started singing in church.  I gave my heart to Jesus in 1976.  Today, I want to share my love of music and worship with others.  My wife, Nicki, and I have 3 adult kids and one grandson.  I attended the South Plains College Commercial Music program.  I have served as interim Worship Leader at several area churches .  God is the object of our worship and He alone is worthy of worship.  So let’s worship Him together.

Chase Conely
Media & Technology Specialist

Chase joined LakeRidge Baptist on a recommendation from his friend to come to youth group.  Three years later he stepped up to help the church with all of its tech and audio issues using whatever knowledge he has.  He was first interested in audio engineering when he helped out in the youth room of his last two churches.  Now he has the opportunity to use what he’s learned for God.  Chase is very happy and grateful to be at home once again.
