Melissa French Tremmel Youth Leader
Melissa is originally from Toledo, OH and have called many places home since 2005. During her youth, church and religion was never pushed upon her brothers or herself, but they were exposed to it through their grandparents, who are of Lutheran denomination. She spends free time crafting, whether making or designing shirts, wreaths, signs, making cards or using epoxy resin to make various crafts. Melissa met her husband Kyle in 2012 and married in May 2015. Melissa & Kyle have three handsome and rambunctious boys, Keegan, Kolton, and Kayden (Moose). They can be a handful at times but they are a blessing for sure and Melissa does not know what life would be like without them. She is excited to be on this spiritual journey with her family as she continues to learn about her religious beliefs and views.
