1) Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I have had the privilege of serving as a GBC State Missionary for 15 years. Before serving at GBC, I served on church staffs in Georgia and Texas for a total of over 25 years of ministry. I am currently also serving as interim Children’s Minister at my church. I have been married to my wonderful husband and ministry support partner Roger Brannen for 23 years. We have 2 boys Tyler (17 ½) and Kyle (12 ½). We are a homeschooling family and live in Bethlehem, Ga. My interests are photography, reading, scrapbooking, and card making. I grew up in Gray, Georgia. I graduated from Georgia College and Southwestern Seminary.
2) Why might a children’s ministry leader contact you?
Ministry areas that I can assist churches with are: Preschool and Children’s Discipleship (resources and strategies), Children and Salvation (The journey of introducing a Child to Christ); New Christian resources/helps for Children; Family Discipleship; Bible Drill; TeamKID; Student Speakers Competition
3) What resources and assistance could you offer for churches in regards to children’s ministry?
With the above areas – we can offer resources, consultations, conferences (we are available to provide training for churches and associations), State-wide Bible Drill Retreat.
