Bro. Chris Greanias served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam
     conflict as Fire Controlman.  He later re-enlisted in the Naval Reserves and
     served as a Company Commander.  He retired from the service as a Chief.
     During the spring of 1972, while serving aboard ship, was witnessed to by a
     faithful Christian.  While returning to the ship after afternoon workout, he
     surrendered his heart and life to the Savior. Bro. Greanias has served as
     a deacon at NSBC for longer than he can remember (that's no surprise!). 
     He is currently our head deacon, song-leader, a substitute Bible hour teacher,
     and serves in AWANA.  He is also a board member of World Ministries to
     the Armed Forces. Together, with his wife Sandy, they are an invaluable
     part of the ministry at NSBC and to our troops serving throughout the world.



    Bro. Archer served as a Dental officer in the Navy for 26 years, retiring as a
    Commander. On October, 1964, Oceanside, California, during his first tour in
    the Navy, with his wife Carole accepted Christ while attending First Baptist
    Church, Oceanside, CA. His salvation verse is 2 Tim. 3:16, rather a strange
    salvation verse perhaps, but for Bro. Archer, it forms the foundation of all
    scriptural truth, and it is the verse the Lord used to get his attention and settle
    his faith. Bro. Archer came to NSBC from another ministry and joined our
    fellowship in the summer of 1989. Dr. Archer was elected to position of
    deacon sometime in Autumn of 1990. He also serves as Treasurer, part-time
    adult teacher, and Vice-President of WMAF.  Dr. Archer's wisdom and spirit
    are an essential part of our ministry. The Archer's devotion to the Lord in their
    service to NSBC and WMAF is absolutely indispensable!
