Rick Newell

Rick Newell’s service in churches began when he served on an advisory board for student ministries while in college.  He has been church librarian at two churches, taught Sunday school, and served on a stewardship committee and a church administrative board.  Rick made his career choice, to be a librarian, in eighth grade.  That choice led him to work in several different libraries through the years. 

For the past twenty years, Rick has been a librarian at the Lacey office of one of the world’s largest non-profit library cooperatives, traveling through western states to do training, technical support, and customer service.

My wife, Sylvia, and I have been happily married for thirty-two years.  Our faith in the Lord has grown significantly since moving to Olympia from Lafayette, Louisiana in 1986. 

During my career, I have been employed as a band director, music master teacher, musical instrument repairman, oil field worker, lab manager, computer programmer, database administrator and security administrator.  Currently, I work for Labor and Industries as the manager of their Information Services Security Office.

My decision to accept the appointment as Church Elder for New Beginnings Bible Fellowship was done after much prayer and supplication about the privilege and responsibility of this position.  To the best of my ability, I will commit the experiences, talents, knowledge and wisdom God has granted to me, for ministering to the needs of this body of believers and to the mission of His Church.
