Joni and Nelson Janney joined the leadership of First Baptist Church as Youth Leaders in 2016. After a short hiatius from 2019-2020, they returned as youth leaders in 2021. Growing up, they were both active in youth group at their home churches and seek to bring that same excitement, joy and fellowship to the youth at First Baptist Church.
Joni is a lifelong member of FBC, and Nelson joined the church after he and Joni married.
