Reneé Sutton

Church Administrative Assistant
Custodian

Reneé Sutton has been a part of Pine Ridge Baptist for over 35 years. She loves serving the Lord in what ever place He wants her and He has put her in a lot of places! When she is not at church and even when she is, you will find her sidekick Roxie (her miniature dachshund) with her. Roxie goes everywhere with her except to our Church services. Reneé loves spending time with family and friends. Reneé also stays at night with one of our beloved members Ms. Joyce. God has blessed her beyond measures and she loves the church family and being able to serve God along beside all of them.
