Ministry Team

I am a husband and father of three. Erica and I have been married for twenty-one years. Erica is an educator in the public school system.
Talyn is our oldest. She is seventeen and looks forward to becoming a meteorologist.
Waylon is our middle child. He is eleven and loves the Miami Dolphins.
Cannon is seven, he is our youngest and proudly introduces himself as “cannonball”. Together we live the typical family life and are loving it!
I have served in a church of twenty members and one with thousands of members. Those experiences have given me a unique view of ministry and leadership. I believe everyone is redeemable through Jesus Christ.
I graduated from Valdosta State University and Asbury Seminary. 

Welcome! I am Lisa Enfinger the BFMC Youth Director.
I joined the group of volunteers that were working with the youth program in 2020 and became a part of the staff in 2021 after retiring from teaching 31 years.
 I previously worked with children and youth ministries at another church for 15 years and have always loved sharing God’s love with young people.
 I am married and have 2 wonderful children. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, riding bikes, boating and barefoot water skiing.

I grew up in Bainbridge but moved away to attend Covenant College.
After graduating I settled in Chattanooga and taught middle school language arts for more than a decade. I earned my M.Ed and Ed.S degrees while teaching.
I met my husband, Daniel, and when he left the Army in 2019, we moved to Bainbridge with our sons, Henry and Charlie.
 I have loved being back in my hometown.
I now homeschool our boys and stay involved in the community by coordinating our local Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program and volunteering as a CASA. I also enjoy teaching a yoga class at the YMCA each week.
We have attended Bainbridge First Methodist for several years following our return to Bainbridge, and I came on staff in 2024.
I have loved being a part of the ministry team here and look forward to continuing to work with families through the children's ministry.

"I am a pianist and music educator. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Music from Florida State University and hold a Bachelor of Music degree from St. Olaf College in Minnesota. I am originally from Hong Kong but have been studying and making music around the world since I was 16 — ask me about my adventures anytime! I currently live in Tallahassee with my husband, Jonny, our daughter, Jasmine, and our beloved orange cat, Tangii (Tangerine).
Music has always been an intimate and inseparable part of my life. I approach every musical moment with sincerity, care, and a heart for serving others. I truly believe music is for everyone, and I would love for you to join us — come by for Wednesday night rehearsals!"

My name is Suzanne Brandt. I joined Bainbridge First Methodist staff as Financial Secretary in December of 2025. 
Although I grew up with Bainbridge as my hometown, I spent much of my adult life in Atlanta. I graduated high school from Bainbridge Christian Academy, attended Tennessee Temple College in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and finally, Valdosta State College. My daughter is an instructor at the Veterinary School at LSU, and my son is a trucking foreman in Tallahassee. I am blessed with 3 wonderful grandchildren. 
Returning to Bainbridge with my family in 1995 when my parents’ health was declining, I served locally as Controller at Bainbridge Post-Searchlight, Director of Keep Decatur County Beautiful, and CEO at Bainbridge-Decatur County YMCA. It is refreshing to see many familiar faces here at the Church. 
Hobbies include creative writing, reading, crafting, and walking on dirt roads with my sister. My grandchildren are my favorites! .

Hello everyone! My name is Ronda (yes without the “h”) Warren and I am very excited to be the new Church Secretary for Bainbridge First Methodist Church!
 I look forward to meeting everyone and developing relationships, as I do my best to be a valuable new addition to the church family.
Not a totally new addition however, my family attended this church many years ago and I have lived in the area my entire life, other than the past few years which have been spent in the Cheaha Mountain area in mid-Alabama.
 When I have spare time, I enjoy cooking and gardening, as well as spending time with my kids, Abi and John Paul, and my two dogs, Murphy and Red.
Please come say hello anytime, I’m very excited to enter into this journey with you all.
