Age-Led Ministries
Hannah Collins
Director of Children's Ministries
Hannah and her husband, Matthew, have been members of Central since 2019. After welcoming their first child, Hudson, in 2020, Hannah wanted to continue to work with children closer to her home in Lenoir City and felt the Children’s ministry of this church is exactly where she was meant to be.
Hannah has a Master’s degree in Elementary Education and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She taught fourth and second grade for five years in Anderson County.
Her favorite thing to do is read a good book outside.

Michelle grew up in Lenoir City and has been a member of Central since 1999. She is honored and excited to direct the student ministry and share God’s love with middle and high school students. Her greatest desire is that they will come to know Christ and choose to follow Him.

She also has seven years of experience as an Instructional Aide in Special Education and ten years of experience as a Sunday school teacher or assistant.
