Reverend Birgitte T. French, Executive Director of FirstWorks
"Pastor Bee" as she is affectionately called, is an ordained Methodist minister with multiple degrees, including a Masters of Divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Originally from Denmark, Pastor Bee also served many years as a missionary in Africa.
She has been FirstWorks' Executive Director for over two years and was responsible for the Food Pantry opening its doors just four weeks after a horrific fire destroyed the former location at First United Methodist Church.
The mother of two teenagers, Pastor Bee brings an insightful understanding of Memphis' inner-city issues and has developed a close, caring relationship with the children in the FIrstWorks' Children's Program and their families. Pastor Bee also serves as Campus Minister at University of Tennessee Medical Center.
