In 2019, Amy began preaching on rotation at CGC, and she began seminary training in 2020. She was ordained by Maranatha Ministries Fellowship, International in 2022. Following the death of her father, Don Yarborough in 2023, Amy accepted the appointment by the elders of CGC to lead the church alongside Dennis into the next chapter.
