Janet McGraw
Director of Christian Education
I have been married to my college sweetheart, Dean, for 46 years. Dean and I gravitated to Southwest Virginia after college and have lived in Abingdon for the past 37 years. Having a degree in Education, I taught school prior to Dean and I having 3 wonderful children and we now have 6 grandchildren. I’ve always said that being a stay-at-home mom was my best job. Being a grandma is second best! In 1996 I accepted the Director of Christian Education position at Sinking Spring and worked for twenty-three years at my dream job outside my home before retiring. I spent three years gardening, crafting, sewing, and enjoying life before being rehired again as the Director of Christian Education in September 2021, and I love being back.
