ABOUT BELLA

Bella and her husband Mark started attending Free City in 2024 after their house church of 10 years dispersed. They quickly dove into community with their three children Luca, Mila, and Nico, serving in Free City KIDS and Mark on the Worship Team. In December 2025, the VanLandingham’s both became City Group Leaders and Bella accepted the part-time staff position as our KIDS & VBS Director. Outside of Free City, Bella loves working out, reading, drinking coffee, going on walks, eating out, puzzling, cooking, and hanging out with friends and family. When asked about her ministry, she said: “I am passionate about sharing Jesus with kids! Research shows that most lifelong Christians make their first commitment to Jesus before 18, and that the likelihood of accepting Christ declines significantly with age. Because of this, childhood is a critical season for faith formation, and I care deeply about creating an environment where kids can encounter Jesus early, build a strong foundation of faith, and feel deeply known and loved.”
