Worship Leaders Fabian and Lesley Grimes
Fabian and Lesley Grimes are the newest couple to join the staff of Cowboy Junction Church. Lesley McHam-Grimes grew up in North East Texas, where she began singing at the age of ten. Soon, she realized God's calling on her life in music ministry. Preparation for ministry came in many ways including singing with the gospel choir "Nothing But Praise" and at the Babbie Mason music conference in Atlanta, GA. In the fall of 2000, Lesley met her husband Fabian Grimes. Fabian, an accomplished pianist from Lovington, NM was involved in a local teen outreach where he played the keyboard. He also served as the worship leader for World Harvest Church in Lovington. In addition, he was the keyboardist for "One in Spirit" worship band. Fabian and Lesley were married December 21, 2001. 
Shortly thereafter they joined the worship team at Living Waters in Lovington, where they served for seven years before joining the Cowboy Junction family in the spring of 2009. Fabian and Lesley live in Lovington, NM with their two treasures, Camdyn and Kaytlyn. The Grimes' greatest desire is to lead people of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances to the heart of God through the power of praise and worship.
