Our Board of Directors
Carolina Bible Camp is led by many Christian servants who give their time as summer camp counselors, workers, volunteers, and supporters. The mission of CBC is entrusted to a Board of Directors who are committed to carrying on the traditions and values of Christian youth camping in North Carolina. These servants come from all across our state and are engaged at CBC in a variety of ways.

David Allgood
"Every summer has its own memories, and each week is special. One of my favorite memories is of a very scared camper who was acting all bowed up and tough on Sunday. I remember Dennis and me sharing that we might have a little trouble out of him. Little did we know that God worked with him that week and he was a model camper. We watched his heart melt as the week continued and he became one of my favorite campers. Another special thing is watching campers become staff and then their children become campers. One family Week 2 has three generations represented."
David began volunteering at CBC in 1982 and has been a counselor, teacher, kitchen volunteer, head counselor, and assistant director. He currently serves as the director for Week 2, as a volunteer at the Bluegrass Festival, and as chairman of the board.
David and his wife, Kathy, have been married since 1996 and have 4 children who all attended as campers. Two of their sons have been counselors while Kathy has served in the kitchen for many years and is a big help to him as chairman. David is an elder at Fuquay-Varina church of Christ in Fuquay-Varina, NC. He is president of DavidSon Home Crafters, Inc, a small building company that focuses mainly on residential building and remodeling, doing limited commercial jobs as well.
Greg Brewer
“When I was 8 years old, I first came to CBC for a week with my mother who was serving as the camp nurse. At that time, the camp was not in its current permanent location. I remember my mother treating quite a few bee stings that week. We used to hike to the top of the mountain and drink out of the spring. Back then, camp moved periodically like gypsies until some wise folks like Jack Harris, Wilson Burton and Emol Fails spear-headed a drive to establish the Mocksville location.”
Greg has been attending CBC since 1966 as a camper and kitchen volunteer. Greg now serves on the executive committee and as the chairman of the CBC Bluegrass Festival. This is our largest single fundraiser for the camp each year. It is a year-long ongoing project. His job involves everything from securing artists, ordering wristbands, setting up the ticketing site, putting up posters and drafting contracts, to actually setting up tents and chairs, sweeping floors, and making sure autographs get signed. It keeps us busy but is well worth the effort.
Greg has been married to his wife, Lisa, since 1982. Lisa serves in the kitchen at camp. She is also the Executive Director and “go-to” person for the Bluegrass Festival. Their two sons also attended CBC and help with the festival each year. Greg is a deacon at Wilkesboro church of Christ in Wilkesboro, NC. He is the senior partner in his four-generation family law firm.
Caleb Clauset
“My (future) wife introduced me to CBC in 1994. It was Kirk Sams' week, and she and I were both counselors and team leaders. It was and continues to be such a great week with a strong focus on Bible knowledge and team competition. She and I were a great team, decisively winning the competition in 1994 and 1995 before Kirk made us compete against each other (where we came in #1 and #2…). It's fun to see our team's names emblazoned on the wall of glory in the dining hall… but it's even more special to see those campers back as parents and volunteers!”
Caleb has been attending CBC since 1994 as a camper, counselor, and teacher. He currently volunteers weeks 1 and 6 and serves on the communications committee on the board.
Caleb and his wife, Andrea, have been married since 1998. All three of their kids attend CBC as campers Weeks 1 and 7 while Caleb and Andrea volunteer Week 6. They love CBC and everything that it represents for their family. It truly is the place to be! Caleb is a deacon at South Fork church of Christ in Winston-Salem, NC. He works remotely for an Australian publishing software developer that designs solutions that are used all over the world to automate all sorts of documents (from travel guides to product manuals to financial disclosures and medical journals). It's given him the opportunity to both travel the world and to be more engaged with his family, church, and community.
Dennis Conner
“Two memories come to mind- I always loved Chester Rainwater leading us in “Arky, Arky” and Friday night singings, especially when we lift high our joined hands as we sing some of those powerful songs!”
Dennis first came to CBC as a camper in 1963 and has not missed a year since! Prior to becoming a weekly Director in 1988 he had served in various staff capacities as counselor, teacher, athletic director and educational director. He is now the director of Week 6 (Senior Week) and has served on the Board of Directors since 1982.
Dennis was married to Terre Crosslin for 35 years before she succumbed to cancer and then married Sherie Lutz in 2011. He has 6 grandchildren (three with Sherie). CBC has been a lifelong passion and has blessed him with many of his dearest friends. Sherie has served at Week 6 for many years. They met at CBC in 1975 and had been friends for 36 years when they married! Dennis has spent 45 years in ministry and recently retired as preacher of Brooks Avenue church of Christ in January 2022.
Stephen Flatt
“My wife and I were friends as campers at CBC and started dating after college. Many of my closest friends are from CBC. So many memories as a camper and staff, from watching friends being baptized, worship services/devos, bonding with campers in my cabin, and spending time with Chester Rainwater. It is no understatement to say that CBC changed my life and allowed me to grow closer to God.”
Stephen has been attending CBC since 1989 as a camper, counselor, teacher, kitchen volunteer, and head counselor. He currently serves as head counselor at Week 6, serves as Vice-Chair of the board, and is on the fundraising committee.
Stephen and his wife, Barbara, were married in 2005 and have two children who have experienced one week of camp as pre-campers so far. He is a deacon at NoDa Church of Christ in Charlotte, NC, and works as a police officer with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Seth Garcia
“Some of my most cherished memories of worship come from CBC Friday Night Singing at Week 2 and Week 6. Even in some of the most grandiose churches and in the beauty and grandeur of nature, I haven't experienced the presence of God in the way I have in the cafeteria of Carolina Bible Camp on Friday nights.”
Seth Garcia began attending camp in 2005, and it has been a staple of his summers ever since. Seth met many of his closest friends and most impactful mentors at CBC, and he wouldn’t be the minister, Christian, or person he is today without the incredible experiences he has had at camp over the past 20 years. There is nowhere where Seth feels more at home or himself than at CBC. Seth attends Week 2, where he is the education director, and Week 6.
Seth is married to Molly, and they live in Raleigh with their foster daughter where Seth is the preaching minister at North Raleigh Church of Christ.
Jules Gilbeau
“CBC is a place where I can exchange business attire for wacky shirts and crazy hats, let my hair down, and see how the love of Jesus can change hearts.”
Jules' wife, Kim, and daughters Lily and Josey have looked forward to summers at CBC since 2015. In 2021 Jules attended Week 7 as a teacher and has returned each summer since as a head counselor.
Originally from south Louisiana, Jules and Kim married in 1997 and have enjoyed many adventures together including homeschooling their girls.
Jules' career in Healthcare Administration brought them to Greensboro, NC in 2001. He began teaching the adult classes at Northwest church of Christ. He has served as deacon of education at Northwest since 2006. He truly has a passion for teaching and studying the scriptures. With 25+ years of training and experience in management and leadership development, Jules hopes to offer his professional and spiritual talents to CBC. He is committed to building on the longstanding tradition of CBC and leading towards an even brighter future for all the generations to come. All to the glory of God.
Bobby Grigsby
“Many of my most meaningful friendships are related to CBC. My favorite times surround worship, particularly Week 6 Friday night singings.”
Bobby has been attending CBC since 1994, serving as a teacher and song leader. While he doesn’t work a particular week at this point, he usually gets to be at camp for some of every week since he is the “local” board member.
Bobby and his wife, Bonnie, have been married since 1991. Bonnie serves as head counselor for Week 6 and Winter Camp. Bobby has served as CBC’s treasurer since 2001. Keeping the bills paid means camp is a year-round event for him! Bobby is the Young Adult Minister at Jericho church of Christ in Mocksville, NC. He has been an optometrist for 31 years practicing just down the road from CBC in Salisbury, NC. This has allowed him to be of service for a few camper and staff eye emergencies and broken glasses through the years.
Eric Haskin
“I have come to know many great people and have become good friends with Andy King, Kirk Sams, and many others because of my time spent at CBC.”
Eric began attending CBC in 2014 as a counselor, teacher, and head counselor. He currently volunteers as head counselor Week 1, as a counselor at Winter Camp, and on the fundraising committee of the board. He hopes to continue volunteering every year in some capacity.

Eric is the deacon of youth at church of Christ at Gold Hill Rd in Fort Mill, SC, and works as a solutions architect with Diebold Nixdorf solving problems and building custom customer products and service programs for large financial institutions.
Joseph Hodge
“Every time I attended camp as a camper, I went in knowing I was going to walk out having grown as a person, as a Christian, and in my relationships. What particularly stood out to me were the off-campus service opportunities that 6th Week provided to us. Dennis Conner and his staff always challenged us as campers to "walk the walk" and get outside our comfort zones rather than incubate ourselves from the world around us. CBC ultimately isn't about the week you attend, but what you do to make the world a better place in the time subsequent to your attendance. CBC, specifically Week 2 and Week 6, were incredibly formative to who I am today.”
Joseph has been attending CBC since 2013 as a camper, counselor, teacher, kitchen volunteer, and athletic director. He currently volunteers Week 2 with his wife, Julie. Together they serve as co-athletic directors and host events such as the much-expected basketball tournament, games of street hockey, posh awards show known as “The CBCs,” and occasionally a late-night talk show known as "2nd Week Tonight." Joseph serves on the communications committee of the board.
Joseph and his wife, Julie, have been married since 2016 and have 2 children who attend CBC as pre-campers. His dad was also a volunteer at Week 2 throughout his time as a camper. Joseph attends North Raleigh Church of Christ and works for First Citizens Bank as an environmental risk manager, ensuring that environmental liability and costs are minimized in the bank’s collateral portfolio.
Gustavo Prato
“The summer of 2006 marked the first time my children attended camp at CBC. In 2008, a group from Brewer Rd began a tradition of attending Second Week. Every year, a large group from Brewer Rd eagerly looks forward to spending time at CBC.
It’s always a joy to hear the stories, fun memories, and valuable lessons shared by my own
children as well as those in our congregation. CBC has been an incredible place for spiritual
growth, fostering new, lasting friendships, and creating unforgettable memories for our children at Brewer Rd.”
Gustavo Prato and his family relocated to Winston-Salem in 2006. He and his wife, Sheryl, have
three children and three grandchildren. Sheryl is a registered nurse at the Spine Center with
Atrium Health. Gustavo serves as an elder at the Brewer Rd. Iglesia de Cristo in Winston-Salem
and is one of three full-time ministers in the congregation. Currently, Gustavo is pursuing a Doctoral degree in Ministry from Abilene Christian University.
