As Director of Younger Children’s Ministries at the General Board of Discipleship, I am responsible for resourcing the church in ministries with children under age six, including weekday ministries, daycare, preschool, and parents’ day out programs. I also plan FOCUS, the quadrennial national event for workers with children.

I hold a bachelor of arts in elementary education from Clemson University and a master of church ministries degree with an emphasis on spiritual formation from Duke Divinity School.

What I love about my ministry is that it allows me to connect congregations with the resources they need in order to share with children our Christian tradition through developmentally appropriate and enriching experiences!

I hope that this blog is helpful to you and those you serve.

peace,
melanie gordon
