Ray and Kim Robinson have both been attending AVCC since 2001, which is how they met each other. Ray is the worship leader and coordinator, and Kim currently heads up children’s ministries. By day Ray works as an electrician, but his passion is music, with a focus on incorporating the multitude of musical talent in our church body. Beyond AVCC (and the electrician gig), Ray works at Mosgo’s Coffee Shop booking bands, running open mic, and setting up art shows. Kim works in the church office doing the bookkeeping. Kim and Ray have been married for six years, and have two rambunctious little boys, Charlie and Calvin. In her spare time Kim enjoys spending time outside, or doing creative things usually involving fabric, yarn, or pen and paper. Ray’s hobbies are vast and many, and include sound gear, race-cars, and, well, Facebook.
