Children/Youth Director

Blanka Mitchell lives on the south side of Newton County with her partner Jesse Gresham and their young daughter Emma Gresham. Blanka started working for Allen Memorial UMC in August of 2009 as the nursery caregiver. She and Jesse, along with their daughter Emma, joined Allen Memorial on Easter Sunday of 2011. In November 2011, she was appointed as the Children and Youth Director. Blanka looks forward to planning Sunday School and Children's Church lesson plans, as well as to work cooperatively with volunteer church members to provide an enriching church experience for our children and youth. In addition, Blanka is looking forward to planning the events for the children and youth ( Holiday events, VBS, and Camp Glisson). Lastly, Blanka has a passion for children's outreach projects. You should look forward to the future outings for the children and youth of the church. Our community patrons might be inspired by what our "Mini Allen's" can do.
