Marlene Brueckner

Marlene Brueckner is a long‑time healthcare professional and the Children’s Ministry Director at Brandon Chapel Church of God, where she serves with a deep love for teaching children about God and helping them grow in their faith. With more than 20 years of experience in medical assisting, patient care, and team leadership, Marlene brings compassion, organization, and a heart for people into every area of ministry.

Marlene has been actively involved in church since she was 15 years old, faithfully serving in children’s church and the nursery. It was during those early years of caring for and teaching young children that she first felt called to children’s ministry. One Scripture that has guided her throughout her life is Proverbs 22:6: “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” This verse continues to shape her passion for building strong spiritual foundations in the next generation.

Marlene and her husband, Adrian, share a deep commitment to ministering to children and families. Together, they enjoy teaching the children of Brandon Chapel Church of God, creating an environment where kids can learn about Jesus, feel loved, and grow confidently in Christ.

Marlene and Adrian have known each other since high school and have been married for 10 wonderful years. They are a blended family and proud parents of two amazing boys: Dylan (21) and Logan (17). Logan is actively involved in the church’s youth group and serves faithfully on the media and sound team, using his gifts to support the ministry each week.

Whether she is organizing children’s programs, supporting families, or cheering on the youth, Marlene’s greatest joy is seeing young people discover who they are in Christ and grow into the calling God has placed on their lives.
