Genealogy note: Shelby, Corbany, Addyson, and Greyson are descended from BBC founding member Sarah (Snow) Crocker. They are also cousins to Baptist Missionary Adoniram Judson (1788-1850). Moving to MA has been the journey of a lifetime for the Greemore family!
They are inspired by many faithful volunteers, leaders, and staff at BBC.
“The future is as bright as the promises of God.”
