Johnny Bracewell
Student Ministries Director
I am Johnny Bracewell. I am the Youth and Young Adult Director. I married my best friend, Julia Bracewell, in July 2024 and moved here to Chestertown. My role is to help connect Youth and Young Adults to Him and to the church but also to equip them to follow Jesus and make disciples. We have events and a weekly worship service. I am blessed to serve alongside some special volunteer leaders who love Jesus and teenagers. Our goal is to create fun events and worship space so that students can encounter Jesus and develop relationships. If you are a 6–12th grade student we want to meet you!
Michelle Genovese
Children's Ministry Director
My name is Michelle Genovese. I am the Director of Children's Ministries here at CBC and joyfully serve as the Secretary at Chestertown Christian Academy. My husband Jim and I have been married for nearly 25 years and have 7 children. We came to Chestertown Baptist Church when our youngest daughter started attending CCA 4 years ago. It is my goal as Children’s Ministry Director to make sure the children who come to CBC get to know and grow in the knowledge and love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful for my traditional church upbringing because as my faith has grown over the last nearly 40 years, I am able to recall the lessons, stories, songs, and traditions that bring insight, knowledge, and reverence to my faith. I hope to pass those same things along to our CBC Kids. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, and crafting.
