Melissa loves working with children and their families, helping them navigate through early childhood struggles and celebrating the growth that happens in those years.  She seeks to partner with families to introduce children to Jesus.  She has spent most of her adult life using her gifts and pursuing these passions in church ministries.  Melissa has been married to Tedd for 32 years and have three grown children.  She likes sports and enjoys playing card games with friends.  She looks for opportunities to get out in nature with a good hike and curl up at home with her favorite craft project, scrapbooking.
