Jeff Staton, Operations Manager

​

Panfork Friends,

​

Hello, I’m D’Lora Staton and I am the new Director at Panfork. My husband Jeff is the Operations Manager. We are thrilled to be at beautiful Panfork Baptist Encampment! Both of us love the history of how God has used this special place in His work to change people’s lives and are grateful to be leading the charge as Panfork continues to be a “haven where people embrace an authentic walk with Christ”.

Jeff grew up in Amarillo and I grew up in a Texas pastor’s family. Both of us are proud graduates of Howard Payne University in Brownwood and Jeff received his Masters of Divinity at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. While Jeff pastored 3 churches and I was a very active pastor’s wife, we raised 6 awesome kids, 1 son and 5 daughters.

In Jeff’s younger years he discovered he was a gifted woodworker and became a cabinet maker. He also developed a wide variety of construction skills and used those abilities to be a blessing in the churches he served. For the last 10 years I served on staff at FBC Perryton as their Children and Family Minister. While there I was privileged to serve on Panfork’s Executive Board and during those years brought vanloads of kids to camp. I fell in love with Panfork which is no great surprise since the Lord used a different camp to draw me close to Him and to provide the framework for my relationship with Him today.

We are anxious to meet you all and hear about how God has used Panfork in your lives. We’d also love you to partner with us as we discover what God has in store for Panfork!

​

In His service,

Jeff and D’Lora Staton
