Diandra Lewis
Graphic Designer & Merchandising
Diandra (also known as Deon) has been a member of FPC since her family moved to the area from Kansas in 1996. She has been involved in almost every ministry in the church and loves to serve. She and her husband Trent met at FPC and married in March of 2010.
Diandra worked at FPC as the secretary while attending college to earn a degree in teaching in 2010. After graduation, she went into education field for 4 years and taught first and second grade. Feeling the call away from education, she left her teaching position with faith that God would provide what she and her husband, Trent, would need. She has had a love of photography and graphic design since opening her photography and graphic design business in 2008 and hoped to pursue this career path over the next few years. God opened the door for her to return not only to the place she loves but also doing what she loves, and now, doing it for the Kingdom!
They welcomed their first child, Rhett, in May 2018 and he is a tremendous blessing!
