Spiritual Guidance

My name is Melanie Gilliland and I serve as the Director of Spiritual Life at Liberty Christian Academy. I graduated from Anderson University, Anderson, Indiana, with a degree in Elementary Education and a Master of Religious Education degree from the School of Theology, Anderson University.
Grounded in our Christian faith, we offer spiritual guidance to help students deepen their relationship with God and navigate life’s questions and challenges through a biblical lens. Christian education and developing a biblical worldview in others is my calling which is why I serve the Lord through Christian education ministries.

I am here to provide a listening ear, share wisdom from the Bible, and offer a supportive environment for spiritual exploration. If I can serve your child or your family, please contact me at 740-282-2809 or mgilliland@libertychristianacademy.org.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” –Matthew 22:37-40
