ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nancy Bond has been actively involved in writing and acting since she was five years old. She and her sister would write and perform dramas for their family. Then, during elementary school, she and her best friend, regularly wrote dramas to perform for the class. When Nancy entered the youth group at First Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA, her choir director asked her to write a drama for a yearly banquet. After seeing the great success, the youth minister asked her to write and perform dramas for the youth each month. Continuing with strong church involvement, Nancy has had great opportunities to write short sketches for Sundays as well as longer dramas to put with music for special events such as Christmas and Easter. In 2005, Nancy began writing mystery dinner theaters that churches could use without being concerned about unwanted content found in many secular dramas. These mystery dinners have been a HUGE hit and many churches return yearly. With a love for drama, she has led the annual creative ministries conference for churches in the state of Ohio. And she currently teaches workshops each year at the Kentucky Creative Ministries Conference. Nancy married Brent Bond whom she met at her church in Atlanta. (Though they had attended the same high school - Southwest Dekalb!) Their oldest son, Zach, was born in Atlanta. Next, they moved to Valdosta, GA; Wake Forest, NC; Roxboro, NC; and Galax, Va. Their second son, Alex, was born in Galax. In 1996, the family moved to the Columbus, OH area to start a new church. (www.cng.org) In addition to writing and running her own business - Stuff 4 Church - Nancy began teaching math at Columbus State Community College. At The Church in Galloway, she worked with the web site, played the drums in the praise team, planned church games and events, led the drama team, led small groups, and taught in Children's Church.
In August of 2010, after 14 years of
serving in Ohio, Nancy and Brent moved back to Georgia. Now, she can
devote herself to Stuff 4 Church full time where through her creation of
this website, she loves helping other churches to reach out and to be more
creative through the dramatic arts!!
