Carol is a passionate worshipper, teacher, and speaker whose life is a testimony to the transformative power of God’s grace. As a redeemed, justified, and sanctified child of the Most High, Carol’s heart beats for the Lord, and her ministry is focused on glorifying Him in every aspect of life. With a deep commitment to the Word of God, Carol strives to inspire and equip women to embrace their identity in Christ and walk boldly in His purpose for their lives.

Carol holds a B.S. and M.A. in Education from the University of Tennessee and Tusculum University, and an M.A. in Ministry from Asbury Theological Seminary. A retired middle school educator after 33 ½ years of teaching, Carol continues to be a lifelong learner, dedicated to deepening her knowledge of Scripture and ministry. Her passion for education has been a driving force throughout her career, whether in the classroom or in the church, as she has served as a teacher, speaker, and leader for various women’s and children’s ministries.

Carol is a licensed and ordained minister with a rich history of service in the church. She has taught Sunday School, directed Vacation Bible School (VBS), and co-led youth groups, always with a heart to serve and guide the next generation in their walk with Christ. As a former speaker for women’s retreats across Tennessee, Virginia, Indiana, and Honduras, Carol’s teaching and testimony have touched lives both locally and abroad.

Her extensive ministry experience includes being a bi-vocational pastor, overseeing three country churches, and serving as a mission team participant in places such as the Bahamas, Costa Rica, Romania, Honduras, Kenya, and India. Carol has also been involved in prison ministry, local prayer groups, and as a volunteer at Shepherd’s Center Food Bank for over 25 years. She is a current board member for Of One Accord Ministries, and leads numerous prayer initiatives in her community, including the Weekly Community Prayer Vigil and First Thursday Prayer on the Square.

As a passionate advocate for prayer, Carol has been a dedicated prayer leader, participating in local and regional prayer groups and prayer events, including the National Day of Prayer and the launch of HJR 803 on Legislative Plaza. Her heart for prayer is reflected in her leadership of Waves of Grace, a ladies’ group where women gather to support one another in their faith journey.

When she’s not serving in ministry or leading others in prayer, Carol enjoys spending time with her family. She is a proud Nana to seven grandchildren, ages 4 to 13, and cherishes every moment with her two sons, Jesse and Daniel, and their wives, as well as her stepdaughter Megan and her family.

Carol’s personal interests include hiking, reading, and spending quiet time reflecting on God’s Word and His majesty in the beauty of creation. Her deep love for Christ and unwavering commitment to His calling make her a powerful and compassionate speaker, and her ministry continues to inspire women to seek after God with all their hearts, minds, and souls.

In everything, Carol’s goal is simple: to lift up the name of Jesus Christ and to live a life worthy of His calling, with a heart fully surrendered to Him.

Bebe was born and raised in Orlando, Florida. After graduating from Lake Highland Preparatory School, she received a degree in Elementary Education from Clemson University, home of the 2016 and 2018 National Football Champions. Her responsibilities at Eagle Rock include development, supervising the food service and being a retreat speaker. Bebe can also be found teaching a women’s non-denominational Bible study each week and doing couple’s spiritual mentoring with husband Lon. Speaking of Lon, the two have been married since 1977, having met working at Disney World’s Fort Wilderness Campground. They have 4 adult children (Jon, Bo, Bethany and Annie) as well as a daughter in law, Amanda and sons-in-law, Paul Doerner and Sam Delk. However, what truly has her heart is the love of her 4 grandchildren – Caroline, Jack, Charlie, and Ellie. In Bebe’s spare time, she enjoys playing team tennis at Green Meadow Tennis Center, and cheering on the Clemson Tigers and the Tennessee Vols.

Hi there! My name is Anna Doerner (I prefer Annie ☺) and my life has been a testimony of overcoming. In my late teen years, I suffered from extreme anxiety and depression. I was so crippled with fear that I could barely leave my house and struggled with intense shame. Because I was a Christian, I thought I shouldn’t deal with such issues, and this mindset led me deeper and deeper into the pit of shame. Many times, I thought of just giving up.

But that was just the beginning of the story…not the end. Jesus was the answer. Jesus showed up in my life, and through a powerful prayer session I was completely delivered and radically healed of my anxiety and depression.  I was restored to the woman God originally intended me to be. The Lord gave back to me everything the enemy had stolen…100 fold!

Due to my radical healing, I began to develop a passion to see others experience the same emotional freedom I encountered. I graduated with a Bachelors in Christian Studies from Lee University. In 2016, I returned to Eagle Rock as Spiritual Director where I continued to mentor summer staff and pray for the sick.

After sitting with hundreds of individuals and hearing their heartbreaking stories, it became apparent to me that most of these individuals were on a JOURNEY to wholeness, not a 20 minute session to healing. Although I do believe God is capable of instantaneous healings (He did it for me!), most everyone who is walking through emotional pain needs days, weeks, and sometimes years to become fully whole. But wholeness, He does promise!

This is why my husband, Paul, and I are so excited to partner with Eagle Rock ministries in offering spiritual direction, relational discipleship and prayer ministry appointments.  In these appointments, you can expect to be heard, prayed over, supported, given spiritual direction and most importantly, walk away feeling completely LOVED. We believe no illness, obstacle or pain is too great for Jesus to heal, and He ultimately is the answer for all.  Join us today on your journey to wholeness!
