Director of Children's Ministry
Manya Bohannon
Manya is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about serving the church in impactful ways. She is married to Pastor Matt and they have two boys together (Eli & Reese). To call her the Director of Children's Ministry is a bit of an injustice as she is often the glue that holds things together. But if you are interested in discipling the children, she is the person to talk to!
