Pastor Enola Leonard hails from the beautiful state of Colorado. Her childhood adventures are engraved upon the prairies of the eastern plains, where she and her five brothers dared to try anything and everything at least once. Upon moving to the big city of Colorado Springs, she found a new relationship with Jesus that has directed her path for many years, taking her to Fort Collins, back to Colorado Springs, and now to the Flint Hills of Junction City. Although she supports her Broncos, enjoys the open-range cowboy lifestyle, loves to play the piano, and enjoys craft projects, her joy comes from helping children and their families connect with Jesus. enolaleonard@jcnaz.org
Cindy Wells is the Office Administrator. She was born and raised in Hays, Kansas. Thirty years ago she moved to Chapman, Kansas with her husband, Jeff. Four years ago they moved to Junction City. She & Jeff have two children, Molly & Matt and daughter-in-law, Melissa. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family, her puppy, Lily, grand-dog, Jewels, reading, gardening and relaxing.
