Mitchell has called Gwathmey Baptist Church home since he was a child, raised in the church where his parents were members when he was born. Later baptized and now a deacon, he became church’s first non-pastoral full-time employee in its 130-year history in 2022. He works closely with Lead Pastor Mike Cauthorne to oversee and manage the administrative and systemic needs, including coordination, communications and relationship building.
Before coming to Gwathmey, Bradley left a radio broadcast career that spanned over 24 years. Mitchell and his wife Tracy met as youth at Gwathmey. High school sweethearts, the two began dating before eventually getting married in 2007. Now calling Mechanicsville home, Mitchell and Tracy are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters, Rachel and Alayna.
Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
