Melissa Hampton

Melissa Hampton serves as the youth director. She was brought into our church by the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) program back in 2000, when the group first started. She took over as leader of the group for many years until 2007. During that time she enjoyed so many aspects with MOPS, including running Mom-to-Mom events, Book Club, Bible Study and more. She is excited to once again take on a more prominent role in our church.

Melissa is mom to 3 kids (Wes 23, Maggie 20 and Onyx 17) and resides in Eaton Rapids with her husband, Tony. She is an animal lover and has one cat, Tootsie, three guinea pigs (Amber, Rosie and Junie) and a horse, Charlotte. She started a house cleaning company in 2008 and is still enjoying that career and helping others keep their homes clean.

Growing up, she resided in Brighton for the first 10 years of her life, then moved to Lapeer. Melissa attended Michigan State to become a teacher and did that for a few years before starting a family. Being a teacher gave her many skills that she can put to use as youth director. She is excited to get to know our teens and help them explore their spiritual life.
