Leslie served Covenant Bible Church as the Senior Pastor's Secretary for fourteen years and is now semi-retired, working part-time as an Administrative Assistant. She graduated from King's Business College, Charlotte, NC, with a certificate in Advanced Secretarial. Leslie has a deep love for Israel and the Jewish people, and she is an ardent student of early church history and the Jewish Roots of Christianity. She and her husband, Bob, have three young-adult children, four grandchildren, three step-grandchildren, and one step-great-grandchild. They are also avid antiquers and co-owners of a local antique shop. Many weekends they travel to visit their children and grandchildren or to search for antiques-most of the time doing both.
