I have been in church leadership for most of that time, under various pastors. I have been an elder in my local church, and a licensed minister for more than a decade serving in both youth and children&#8217;s ministries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fencing was something I always wanted to do. In the spring of 2005, my wife discovered Tri-Blade Fencing. We both learned Foil, Epee and Saber fencing over the following year. Within a few years, I began assisting the lead instructor in teaching new fencers all the basic moves. As my skills grew, so did my responsibilities within the club. Until at one point,  <br>the lead instructor went out of the state for a month, entrusting the entire club along with one other to my oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accomplishments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1000+ hours of personal fencing<\/li><li>Over 500 hours of instructing<\/li><li>Board Treasurer of Tri-Blade Fencing Academy<\/li><li>Developed Public School fencing program<\/li><li>Co-Instructor \u2013 Homeschool Partnership fencing class<\/li><li>Co-Instructor \u2013 High School P.E. fencing class <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4>Stacy Wilder &#8211; Associate Instructor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I was introduced to Jesus when I was seven years old, at my church. I fell in love with Him, and have served Him my entire life. I also have been in church leadership for most of my adult life. For more than a decade I have served in both children&#8217;s and youth ministries.  I have a desire to help young people to know their true identity in God, and walk out their God-given designed purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the spring of 2005, I began fencing with my husband, at Tri-Blade Fencing. I was able to learn both Foil and Epee and really enjoyed fencing. Unfortunately, after about two years, I had to stop due to some wrist issues. Once my husband and I decided to develop this ministry, I began working on my wrist strength and began to fence again predominantly left-handed.       <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle &ldquo;Tank&rdquo; Wilder &ndash; Lead Instructor I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in the fall of 1986 and over the years have not ever turned aside from<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":174,"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86\/revisions\/174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/akron-graphics.com\/SOTM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
