Brandie Mercer: BC Tots Coordinator

Hi, I'm Brandie! I am the BC Tots Coordinator at Believers Church of Statesboro. I have a degree in Children's Ministry and have been working with children for over 20 years. I am a wife of almost 15 years and a homeschool mom to four kids. I enjoy going on adventures with my family and the beach is my happy place.

I absolutely love working with the birth-preschool age group. They grow so fast and are so very curious and eager to learn. My goal as BC Tots Coordinator is to provide a fun, safe place where your little ones can play and learn about the love of Jesus. I want the kids to enjoy their time in BC Tots and look forward to coming back.

I want parents to feel welcome to ask questions and be involved in what their kids are learning. I want parents to feel secure, knowing their kids are in a safe environment while they enjoy Sunday service or a Wednesday night Life Group. My goal is to always support parents as they navigate this, sometimes trying, age where the days are long- but the years are short. I'm excited to partner together with parents to raise these precious souls for Jesus!

Aly Teal: Creative and Media Director

My name is Aly Teal and I am the Creative/Media Director of Believers Church. I have grown up serving in church in a variety of capacities but have always loved worshipping and working on creative projects in ministry. I worked on many Vacation Bible School sets with my parents who were Children's Ministers and participated in every worship event or production I could.

I volunteered on the worship team and creative team at Believers for six years before becoming a member of the staff. Now, I get the honor of sharing God's love in fun and creative ways full-time.

I also lead our Care Team here at Believers. This ministry focuses on supporting individuals and families through major life events such as welcoming a new baby, major sickness, and grief. We provide meals and send cards of encouragement to the families in these, often stressful, seasons of life. Leading the Care Team is one of my favorite aspects of my job because I get to see God's love in action on a daily basis.
