Chapel Leadership

Here at the Chapel, we are blessed to have both paid and volunteer staff who all play integral roles in the life of our church. We're pleased to introduce each of them to you.

Pastor

Donn Fisher has been our senior pastor since January of 2001 after serving as youth pastor, then associate pastor here at the Chapel. Previously, Donn served as pastor at Frist Baptist in Whitman following his college education at Eastern Nazarene College and Calvary Chapel Bible College.

Donn and his wife Alisa have been married for fifteen years and are the proud parents of four children. They are residents of Raynham.

Agapé- Refuge Worship Center Pastor

Our RWC pastor is Mike Thomas. Mike has been led by the Lord through a three year process of learing and discipling that have brought him to his ordination. While his main focus is evangelism and outreach, Mike is truly a multi-talented, multi-gifted man of God. Pastor Mike oversees our location in downtown Taunton called the Refuge, where his responsabilities include Sunday services and pastoral counseling.

Director of Youth Ministry

Joshua Attardo has been the Director of Youth Ministry since June of 2002. He works for Stop and Shop supermarkets. Josh also serves as our main worship leader.

Josh and his wife Melanie have been married for four years, and are Raynham residents. They welcomed their first child, Gianna Marie, on February 17, 2010.

 Elders

In addition to Pastor Donn, Pastor Mike, and Josh, the chapel is also blessed to have one other elders. Our elders are the spiritual leadership of the church, and are responsible for ths spiritual oversight of the flock.

Mark Schuttauf, who works in the jewelry manufacturing industry, and his wife Sharon, a nurse, have been coming to the chapel for several years, along with their 5 kids. The Schuttauf family live in Raynham.

Deacons

We are also blessed to have several deacons currently serving in specific areas of ministry. Our deacons, in addition to serving in their specific areas, also collectively handle financial and building decisions for the church.

Jean Austin is our Deacon of Finance, as well as one of our musicians. She is a long time Raynham resident.

Sharon Gray is our Deacon of Children's Ministries. She, her husband Chad, and daughter Julia, live in Middleboro.

Sandi Peters is our Deacon of Women's Ministries. Sandi also sings on the worship team.

Sunny Winthrop is our Deacon of Missions. Sunny's passion for the lost, as well as her passion for the missionaries themselves are welcome additions to the ministries of the Chapel.
