Melody Bandola grew up in Grace Fellowship Church. She has been attending with her grandparents, Jim and Debbie Smith, since the nearby Faith Harvest Church closed down.

   Always having an ear for music, Melody joined the praise and worship team, soon becomming the connections and worship minister for 3Degrees Student Ministry.

   Melody continued her Grace journey by officially becomming a member in April 2021. She also became the Lead teacher for the Pathfinders pre-teens class. After serving with the Pathfinders for 5 months, Melody’s heart remained with the youth. She served with the youth for their back to school bash, and since then has become the Student Minister in charge of communications and worship for 3Degrees Student Ministry.

   Melody was baptized at GFC on May 30, 2021 after recommitting her life to Christ. Melody always strives to create an atmosphere where she can talk about God, disciple teens and children through her love of God, and show people just how great God truly is.

   Melody is married. She has a son named Gio and 2 step daughters, Bri & Brylee.
