We are excited to welcome new Local Outreach Director, Melanie Lee, to Grace Bible Church. Melanie has called Grace Bible Church 'home' for five years and joins the staff with husband, Michael Lee and daughter, Marley Grace Lee. She is excited to build on what God is doing at Grace in the community and in developing relationships with schools in the Hampton Roads area. As a graduate of Virginia Beach City Public Schools, she attended Longwood College earning a Bachelor of Arts degree and from Old Dominion University a Master of Science in Educational Leadership. In addition, Melanie brings with her 18 years experience as a classroom teacher and assistant principal at the middle school and high school levels while in Virginia Beach City Public Schools.
Fun facts from Melanie: "I was a scholarship athlete in college, field hockey. I enjoy leadership development opportunities and look for ways to work with middle and high school age students to develop leadership skills. My husband and I like to run and relax at the beach - although with an 11 month old, we haven't done this recently. We also enjoy live music any chance we get. We love and adore Stella, our 10 year old Weimaraner, and first 'child'. I am an excellent bowler, since age 10."
Welcome Melanie and family!
