Rev. Shannon Karafanda is an Ordained Deacon in the
United Methodist Church with a focus on family ministries. She grew up in
Morrow, Georgia, went to school at Georgia Tech, and worked as a computer
programmer before pursuing her call to ministry in 1999. Oddly enough, she’s
discovered that programming and ministry are very similar. They both deal with
people looking for answers, for new users the design is often just as important
at the content, and change is difficult in either situation.
She
went to Candler School of Theology and has worked in Family Ministries at
Brooks UMC, Turin UMC, Lighthouse UMC, Sacred Tapestry, The Church at the Well,
and Hopewell UMC. She is currently serving at Cornerstone UMC in Newnan,
Georgia and is the author of "The Synergy Shift" available on amazon.com.
Shannon lives with he-who-shall-not-be-named-in-sermons (her husband), her three children and overly affectionate black lab in Peachtree City, GA. When she's not working, she spends most of her days ignoring the mess her kids have made, deciding if she should put on actual clothes vs her pjs, and checking facebook constantly just to prove to herself that most people aren’t that exciting either.
When she’s not on Facebook, you can find her on Linked In, blogging, reading books that no one would expect a minister to read, and running (usually not all at the same time).
