OUR FEATURED FAMILY OF THE MONTH

The James family: Jordan, Melanie, Harper, and Elias James

 Jordan is the new Pastor here at Live Oak Community Church. He is also a teacher at ASH and a Realtor with Crest Realty. In his spare time, he enjoys playing video games, watching YouTube, and spending time with his precious family. His wife, Melanie, is the ABA Program Supervisor at St. Mary’s Residential Training school where she works with children with autism and developmental disabilities. She is planning on attending Nicholls State University in the fall to pursue a Master’s degree in Education with a concentration in ABA.  In her spare time, she enjoys working out and doing educational activities with the kids at home. Harper, 7, and Elias, 4, will be attending Phoenix Magnet Elementary next school year and are very excited to be going to school together. They enjoy the typical things kids their age enjoy: playing on their tablet, playing outside, and spending time with family, especially their grandparents. The James family started attending Live Oak almost 5 years ago to this day. They were invited by Mitchell Sanders, a former student of Jordan’s, and have thoroughly enjoyed becoming part of the family here
