Tony Smith

Facility Manager & Maintenance Coordinator

While growing up at Good Hope, Tony quickly developed skills as the “Fix It Man.” No matter what was needed from repairing the AC, designing a renovation or building drama props, Tony was the church’s go-to person. Even while working full-time at UNC Hospitals in charge of Construction, Carpentry and Paint and helping his dad on a side business for years, he served tirelessly behind the scenes at Good Hope as a Trustee and often while leading that team. On many occasions, he has been known to work at church overnight, so it seemed things magically appeared during the night. Tony began serving in this official new role of Facilities Manager and Maintenance Coordinator in January 2018.

Vickie Ryals

Interim Financial Secretary

Vickie grew up at Good Hope where she accepted Christ at age 12. She currently volunteers in the Nursery at church each Sunday morning. She received a BSBA in Accounting from Appalachian State University and has worked in accounting for various companies ever since. Nearing retirement, she is enjoying her interim part-time position in the church finance office.
