Todd and Dana Friday

We are excited that Todd and Dana have stepped forward to lead our KIDS WALK (Children’s Ministry)! They have been approved by the Children’s Ministry Team and the Session to be our new leaders. Here is some biographical information on the Friday Family:

Todd was born in Dallas, NC and graduated from North Gaston High School.  He then went to UNC Chapel Hill and received his BS in Biology in 1993.  He went on to Nursing School at UNC and received his BS in Nursing in 1995.  He has been at Gaston Memorial since 2002.  He started as an assistance nurse manager and is currently the Manager for the oncology services and dialysis.

Dana was born in Rutherfordton, NC.  She and her family moved frequently due to her father's job but she graduated from Lincolnton High School.  She then went to UNC Chapel Hill and graduated from the School of Pharmacy in 1994.  She works part time at Medical Arts Pharmacy in Shelby, NC.

Todd and Dana lived in the Chapel Hill/Durham area until 2002 when they moved back to this area to be close to family.  Todd's family still lives in Dallas and Dana's lives in Lincolnton and Belmont.

Todd grew up at Philadelphia Lutheran Church in Dallas and Dana grew up Southern Baptist.  They decided to join a denomination that meshed the two for them.

Todd and Dana live here in Gastonia actually very close to Gaston Day School.  They have four children, Jeff-13, Daniel-9, Evan-6, and Lilly-3.  They are very excited about leading the Kids Walk ministry for Gaston Community Church and for Gaston Community!
