It is with a heavy heart that Tammy has heeded God's call to pursue another opportunity and will be leaving the Brandermill Church family, at the end of June.
 
Tammy has worked tirelessly as Director of our Children & Family Ministries and she has organized multiple local education and mission outreach programs. Her leadership will be missed.

I know we all wish Tammy much success in her
new endeavor.

A Giving Nugget

A great method to give toward the church is via your online banking. If you use online banking to pay your monthly bills, simply set the church up as a payee. You can then use your online banking to also make donations to The Brandermill Church whenever you choose. Unlike giving thru your credit card on the church website, contributions made through your online banking do not cost the church any additional money in fees.

 As always, thank you for your generous support of The Brandermill Church and God's work here!
