Testimonials “It’s a great place to practice what you preach.” – Fred Palmerton, CCO Volunteer “The work of the Council of Churches of the Ozarks is important to the community because it coordi- nates and sets into motion the collective heart and will of the faith community to humbly and efficiently serve those in need in the Ozarks. Serving with the Council opened my eyes not only to the very real needs of our neighbors but also gave me assurance that we can make a difference if we continue to work together.” - Britton Jobe, Neale and Newman/ CCO Board Member C O U N C I L O F C H U R C H E S O F T H E OZ A R K S A D D R E SS 62 7 N G l e n sto n e, S p r i n g f i el d , M O 65 8 02 P H O N E 41 7- 8 62-35 8 6 W E B S I T E ccoz a r k s .o rg SO C IA L M E D IA fa ce b o o k .co m /ccoz a r k s .o rg TOTA L N U M B E R O F EM P LOY E E S 55 A N N UA L R E V E N U E S $7, 31 6 , 51 6 TO P E X EC U T I V E J a i m i e Tr u s s e l l , C EO B OA R D O F D I REC TO R S C H A I R P E R SO N : L i n d a Me r kl i n g , P re s i d e nt B OA R D O F D I REC TO R S P re s i d e nt L i n da M e r kl i n g V i ce P re s i de nt To m R ya n , Retired Civil Engineer, MODOT  Tre a s u re r M i ke P r u ett , CPA, Elliott, Robinson & Company  S e c ret a r y A n it ra A p p l e by, Sanctuary of Praise C.O.G.I.C  J oe Co ste l l o, Commercial Real Estate Broker, Joe Costello Company  C h r i st i n a R yd e r, GO LEAD and Sociology Re- search Coordinator, Missouri State University Rev.
