Ozzy grew up in a small-town northwest of Dallas, called Forestburg. After high school, he joined the United States Army to serve his country. He and Jenifer were married upon Ozzy’s return from a year long tour in Iraq in May of 2004. They have four beautiful children (Abigail, Timothy, Grace, and Eden-Rose), and two dogs.
After serving his country, both Ozzy and Jenifer decided to devote their lives serving the Lord. Ozzy attended and graduated from several schools over the years, including Sunset International Bible Institute, Amridge University and Liberty University. He graduated from Liberty University with a M.A. in Christian Ministry in 2020. Ozzy served as a stateside missionary from 2012-2022, being an instrumental part of a church plant (Rapid City, South Dakota), in which Landmark Church of Christ was the sending church.
Ozzy enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing with his children, reading and studying. Among Ozzy’s hobbies are watching and playing competitive sports, exercising, long-range shooting, precision reloading, hunting and hiking. His favorite scriptures are Acts 17:26-28 and 2 Cor.  5:16.
Ozzy’s passion is discipleship. Whether a person grew up inside or outside of the church, Ozzy loves to help people discover what a relationship with God looks like, and help them understand how to share their faith with their friends, family and neighbors.

Bill Allen and his wife Joyce came home to Texas in July 2015.
Bill and Joyce met and became friends in seventh grade in their hometown of San Antonio, started dating their senior year of high school, and married in 1977. Bill and Joyce have two married daughters—Amy & Brian Tindell in Maryland, and Amanda & Paul Adkison in Arlington, who have given their parents four wonderful grandchildren—Sam, Isaac, Ella Mae and Will. Joyce has cheered Bill through eight marathons, and they enjoy music and movies, family and friends, and serving the Lord, His church, and His world.
Bill received a Bachelor’s degree in Bible from Oklahoma Christian and Masters and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Abilene Christian (ACU). He has served as preacher for churches in San Antonio and Arlington, TX, and in Winston-Salem, NC. He was President of the Center for Christian Education in the DFW area and has served on the Board for women’s shelters in Arlington and Fort Worth, and has been to Ukraine for six mission trips.
Bill’s personal mission statement is taken from Colossians 1:28-29: “We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.”

Randy was raised in Tyler, Texas and has been part of the West Erwin church family since 2008. He has been married to his wife, Stacy, for 25 years. Stacy’s encouragement, strength, and love have been central to Randy’s life and calling. Together with their children, Katie and Nathan, their family continues to shape how he lives, serves, and follows Christ. Randy has served the congregation in a variety of roles over the years, including as a deacon and through participation on numerous committees. His love for benevolence ministry grew out of his childhood, where he watched his parents begin a benevolence effort  for another congregation—serving people directly out of their own home. That early example shaped his understanding of what it means to love others with both compassion and action. As Benevolence Minister, Randy is focused on helping those who cannot help themselves by meeting practical needs while preserving dignity and fostering meaningful relationships. He believes true benevolence involves more than providing food, clothing, or financial assistance; it also means walking alongside people spiritually and relationally, offering encouragement, prayer, and hope rooted in Christ. His vision is to see lives restored through faithful service that reflects the heart of Jesus. His ministry is guided by James 1:27, which calls God’s people to care for those in distress with faith that is both active and pure. “No matter how messy someone’s life becomes, they still bear the image of their Creator—and that truth shapes how we serve every person who comes to the Benevolence Center.”
