Lyle has a wonderful servant's heart and is a regular on VIM (Volunteers in Mission) trips.

Serving as our church Treasurer is Emmy Apple, kind-hearted yet strictly by the books when the money is concerned.  Emmy watches over our expenditures, making sure that the bills are paid, money donated to benevolences gets to the right charity, and the the staff gets paid on time.

A passionate crafter, Emmy is instrumental in the organization of our Annual Bazaar.  She spent many years as a leader in Camp Fire, endearing her to many throughout the Lawton community. 

Dale Clodfelter is a long time member of the Lawton Heights Church and serves as the chair of the Trustees.  The Trustees watch over the legal aspects of the church property as well as maintain the physical facilities. 

Dale works in construction and therefore knows how to do the occassional repair jobs needed to keep our building operational.  Dale also runs the sound for Sunday morning and evening services and maintains the church van for the bus ministry.

A traditional/folk/bluegrass music lover, Mike Wood brings a new twist to our worship team.  Mike loves to perform his music in worship, at community concerts, benefit concerts, and at the Texoma Traditional Music Association (the latter being an organization that he founded and which meets at Lawton Heights UMC the third Saturday of every month from 3:00 to 5:00).

Mike's world experience and his knowledge of world events keeps him looking for new ways to express how we practice our Christian faith in today's world.
