At
age five, Nancy found a love for both creating and acting out stories. She and her sister wrote and performed dramas for their family. Then, during elementary school, she and one of her best friends regularly
wrote dramas to present in various classes. When Nancy entered the
youth group at First Baptist Church in Atlanta, the choir director asked
her to write and direct a drama for a yearly banquet. After seeing
the great success, the youth minister asked Nancy to write and perform
dramas each month or so. In college, she was part of the drama team
at the Baptist Student Union at Georgia Tech.
While in college, Nancy was truly blessed to marry Brent
Bond whom she had met at her Atlanta church. (Though they had
attended the same high school - Southwest Dekalb!) Later, the
couple joyfully welcomed their first son and both extended families first
grandson, Zach, who was born in Atlanta. Next they had several moves
including Valdosta, GA; Wake Forest, NC; Roxboro, NC; and Galax, VA. There in Galax, they had the blessing of greeting their second son, Alex. Years later, in 1996, the family moved as Southern Baptist missionaries to
the Columbus, OH area to start a new church called The Church in
Galloway.
With strong church involvement, Nancy has had great
opportunities to write short sketches for Sundays as well as longer dramas
to put to music for special events such as Christmas and Easter. She
has had a variety of experience in working with a wide range of ages
including young children, youth, adults, and seniors.
In 2004, Nancy began writing mystery dinner
theater scripts that churches and other non
profit groups can use without the concern of
unwanted or embarassing content found in many
secular dramas. These mystery dinners have
been a HUGE hit and numerous churches return
yearly to purchase new scripts.
Her love for drama, allowed Nancy to lead the annual
creative ministries conference for churches in the state of Ohio. Plus, for many years she taught workshops each March at the Kentucky Creative
Ministries Conference in Louisville or Bowling Green until they came to an
end.
In addition to writing and running her own business - Stuff
4 Church - Nancy has worked as a math teacher at Valdosta High School,
Roxboro Christian Academy, and Columbus State Community
College. She has been very involved in her churches through choir,
handbells, VBS, praise team, playing the drums, web site development, planning church wide events, leading drama teams, small groups, and
teaching Sunday School classes and Children's Church.
In August of 2010, after 14 years of
serving in Ohio, Nancy and Brent moved back to Georgia. Now, she
devotes even more time to writing new scripts and growing the
Stuff 4 Church business. Through her creation of
this second website in 2011, she loves helping churches reach out and be more
creative through the dramatic arts!!
Nancy plans
to find new and creative ways to use drama
sketches and dinner theater in churches in the
future.
