Claudette Polidoro
Website Coordinator
As the Website Coordinator for Countryside Church, I help maintain and enhance our online presence to connect and reach more people in our beautiful community, I’m also a proud owner of a small photography company, where I have been blessed to capture the beauty of God’s work.  I'm excited to bring that same passion to our church's online presence.
What makes Countryside Church truly special is the warm welcome I received from the very start. When our family attended a Trunk or Treat event here, just after moving from New Jersey, I felt an instant sense of belonging, despite not knowing anyone or looking for a church. The kindness and hospitality from everyone made us feel at home in this new community.
Our church's mission statement, "to develop hearts for God in this Spirit-filled community, and to spread God's love and grace throughout the world," resonates deeply with me. I appreciate the sense of safety and community we've found here, and I'm grateful to be part of this amazing church family.
