Ed Watkins

Ed and his beautiful wife, Carol live in St. Charles with their son, Samuel and their high-maintenance dog, Andy. Ed and Carol met in a unique way (ask them sometime, it’s a great story) that led Ed to God after being an atheist for almost 30 years. Ed and Carol have been an integral part in two church plants and were looking for a new church home when introduced to Arise through Rodney and Kacie Campbell. They currently both serve on the hospitality team and enjoy playing trivia games with anyone who will play. Ed loves music and music trivia, and the family enjoy watching films and movies (there is a difference) at both the theater and at home. Ed and Carol currently host a small group in their home for new believers.
