About our Author

Marcia Rainey is a wife, mother, Nana, and retired educator who served eight years as principal and 11 years as a middle school Bible and science teacher at Hawthorne Christian Academy. She now spends her days with her grandson and enjoys baking, long walks with her husband, and the view from any mountain or beach.  She is thrilled to be part of the TLC family serving with the children’s, life group, and women’s ministry teams. 

Marcia is an intellectually curious, lifelong learner who holds a Bible degree from Evangel University, a master’s degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Bank Street College of Education, and an Education Specialist degree in Education Leadership, Management and Policy from Seton Hall University. 

Marcia is also a former midwestern country girl who has grown to love North Jersey since she moved here over 30 years ago. She has been married to Chris Rainey for over 40 years and they have three lovely adult daughters.  

You will likely find Marcia on the go with her quite light and sweet cup of coffee—or talking with a child about interesting things in the world around them!
