DAMON BENTLEY

elder

Damon Bentley was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and relocated to Dallas in the early 1970s. He graduated from high school in Mesquite, where he also met his wife, Christy, while playing in a men's softball league with the Mesquite Church of Christ. Although Christy initially attended to cheer for another team, it was Damon who won her heart. Damon and Christy are the proud parents of three grown children: Jamie, Emilie, and Cody. They are also delighted grandparents to Lucy, Lily, and Ava.

When not spending time with his family, Damon works in property management and as a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. He accepted the charge of elder in 2021 and considers Philippians 2:3 his favorite scripture: “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”
