About Mrs. Bowen Minimize

My name is Donna Bowen.  This will be my 22nd year here at Grace Academy, and my 26th year to teach. I have been married to John Bowen for 34 years this July.    We have two children, Tiffany, 27,  and Jonathan, 24.  Tiffany lives in Atlanta with her husband, Tim, and son, Connor 4 1/2.  Jonathan lives in Nashville.

My parents raised me in church, and  I was saved at the age of 13.  As a teenager, I worked in the Bus ministry and in Children’s Church.  John and I met at Tennessee Temple University from which we graduated in 1979.   I taught first and second grade at Brainerd Baptist School after graduating.  Over the years, I have helped John as Bus Director, Children’s Church Pastor, Youth Director, and Camp Director.  Presently, John owns his own bread route and is a Bread Distributor for Flowers Baking Company.  John and I are members of Stuart Heights Baptist Church on Hixson Pike.

As a child I was always very shy, but God implanted the desire in my heart to be a teacher.  It is amazing to see how He equips you with the gifts and talents you need to do what He calls you to do.  I love teaching children.  God is still teaching me continuously so that I can strive toward being a better teacher.

I am looking forward to a great year together!

Serving Him,

Donna Bowen
