BOB DUKE, ELDER
Bob has lived in Galveston since August 1977, shortly thereafter becoming a Christian in Galveston Bible Church (known as Believers’ Fellowship at that time).
Bob met and married his wife Jeannette within the next couple of years and they have served at and been served at GBC since the late ‘70s. The Lord has provided for the Duke Family in many ways as Bob and Jeannette raised seven children, currently living around Texas or in the Middle East. Bob’s greatest desire is to love God and His Word, the Bible, and share with others that Jesus loves them and died for their sins.

Allen and his wife Gwen enjoy serving others in whatever way the Lord leads. His prayer is that we all have a growing walk with God through a life and worldview that is consistently biblical.
