| Pastor Carter with husband Vincent |
Pastor Vernell Carter has been at FUMC since June
2006. Pastor Carter left a business career to answer her call to the ministry, a move fully-supported
by her husband and daughter. Pastor Carter is blessed with a warm and easy-going nature and the Franconia family benefits
greatly from her spiritual leadership. An amatuer nature photographer in her spare time, some of Pastor Carter's work
can be found on the walls of her office in the church.

Myleen Lankford is the Director of our All God's Children Preschool (AGC). Myleen
has been a part of the FUMC family since her eldest daughter (who is now in elementary school) first entered preschool at
AGC. She instantly fell in love with the warm, caring nature that was felt in the halls of both the church and the preschool.
In addition to spending time with her husband Blaine, and daughters Meghan and Shannon, Myleen enjoys traveling -
especially to the beach - photography, and a day at the spa. Update: Myleen's family recently welcomed
baby Kaitlin into their lives. Hopefully a new picture is coming soon!
