FIRST YEAR | PRAYER

Hi, I'm Abby! :)
[Photo coming soon!]

FIRST YEAR | MEDIA

Addie is a lover of many things, including but not limited to: books, photography, crafts, writing, singing, dancing, and Jesus! You can find her walking around Five Points, getting a coffee at Jittery Joes, or annotating a book in her grandma chair. If you see her around, ask for her Goodreads!  

FIRST YEAR | CONNECT + THE LIGHT

Allaina is unapologetically obsessed with a good game of solitaire, candy corn, loose leaf tea, the wordle, and most of all, THE ABUNDANT LOVE OF JESUS! If you’re looking to play a card game, collect tiny trinkets, or wander the aisles at Trader Joes, she’s your girl!!

FIRST YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP

Andrew's interests include Billy Joel, Star Wars, disc golf, the Atlanta Braves, and unfortunately for anyone who asks, Ted Lasso. Asking him for his opinion on this show can lead to an hour long conversation about its themes of human nature, empathy, and what it means to truly love others. Andrew is passionate about these themes because he just loves people. He always strives to “be curious and not judgmental.”  Come find him if you want to go to Andy’s or Chuck’s Fish!

FIRST YEAR | WORSHIP + OUTREACH

Andrew loves messing around outside, making music, and talking about nerdy stuff like the brain. His favorite thing at the moment is helping people set healthy boundaries with their phone to reconnect with God and people!

FIRST YEAR | ENCOUNTER, SOCIAL MEDIA + STORE

Coffee shop expert, Jack Johnson’s biggest fan, creativity & fashion enthusiast, professional brainstormer, & perpetual planner of side quests, hobbies, & weekend trips with my friends!

FIRST YEAR | CONNECT

Beatriz is moved by seeing students experience belonging, transformation, and purpose during their college years! She values authenticity, diversity, fun, empathy, and unity.
She loves Survivor, black coffee, Marker 7, Tetris, all things UGA, and pickleball (playing AND watching).
Her favorite thing about herself? Being an enneagram 4, of course.
Least favorite? Still owning Team 10 Jake Paul merch. 

FIRST YEAR | WORSHIP + OUTREACH

Callie has a heart for the nations, a desire to see revival in Athens and a passion for helping people discover that the Creator of the universe speaks to them! Interests include driving an unreasonable distance for coffee, eating olives or cherry tomatoes like they’re candy and making a mean smash burger (shoutout Baddie’s). Ask her about unreached people groups, hearing the Lord’s voice or the difference between a good coffee and a great coffee, and she’ll talk for hours!

FIRST YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP + OUTREACH

Cutsie moments I love:
Reading outside with Jesus and something fun and cozy to drink
Doodles
Appreciating creative and intentional things from quilts to songs!
I love a good word, thought provoking, something that could be on pride and prejudice
The sound of music
I love being with kiddos
My favorite pastime…sitting on a picnic table or around a table after a convo listening to the sound of people coming together!!
Eeekkk I’m so excited to meet you and get to encourage you!

FIRST YEAR | SMALL GROUPS

If Ellie's not at Wesley you'll probably find her running a marathon, eating sushi, drinking iced vanilla lattes, reading her kindle, building her future  high-school teacher wardrobe, hanging at the Botans, wearing a funky hat, or procrastinating her homework (submitted this at the last minute btw).

FIRST YEAR | WORSHIP + OUTREACH

Ask Gracie about microplastics and ketchup with Doritos. It'll change your life. & so will the Lord ;)

FIRST YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP + THE LIGHT

Two truths and a lie: she competed in a national seafood cookoff, she was captain of a summer camp, and she did henna on a woman's feet???? PSYCH all of these are true... She loves to chat, go for a walk, sip a coffee, and read. 

FIRST YEAR | WORSHIP

Kallyn loves all things music and Jesus!!! She has been serving as a worship leader for 9 years, and Wesley has been so encouraging in that journey over the last few years! A jam sesh is always welcomed and appreciated! You can find her with a fun drink always in hand (a polar pop usually), and she will never say no to a sweet treat run. Fun fact about Kal, she LOVES ducks!!! SO if you see one, grab a pic and show her the next time you see her! (It will make her day!!)

FIRST YEAR | PRAYER + THE LIGHT

Karen loves deep conversations and connecting with people. In her spare time she loves to read, spend time with friends and family, exercise, try new food spots, and experiment in the kitchen.
One thing she wants to do before turning 25 is to go zip-lining in the forest :)

FIRST YEAR | PRAYER + ADVANCEMENT

Kate’s favorite things, in no particular order:
Matcha (with oat milk and honey)
Long walks
Slippers
Doing the worm
Jesus
Pretty good list right?

FIRST YEAR | PRAYER + OUTREACH

Kellen is a recent UGA graduate and aspiring pastor. His Chargers fandom was decided for him at birth, and he has spent the better part of a decade learning valuable lessons in patience, perseverance, and disappointment. He loves being outside and talking about almost any sport with a level of detail nobody asked for. He’s sticking around Athens to serve at Wesley while beginning seminary at Asbury. His long-term goals include becoming a pastor, winning a third fantasy football championship, and somehow shooting 8 under par in the fake sport that is disc golf. The first currently seems most attainable.

FIRST YEAR | SMALL GROUPS

Lauren will most likely be found doing some sorts of arts and crafts, building legos, or trying a new recipe whether it be baking or sourdough. Found most times with a flavored latte (ask for her banana bread syrup recipe) or a coke zero/dr pepper zero. Also known as a serial hobbyist.

FIRST YEAR | CONNECT + ADMIN

Shrek 2 is one of the best sequels ever made.

FIRST YEAR | CONNECT + MISSIONS

Hi! My name is Mal and here are a few things that are perfect to me: cold brew lattes from Sunroof, sprinkles, 5 points, Google Calendar, and Big Bad Buffalo Clucker pizza from Fully Loaded! I’m passionate about sisterhood, discipleship, confession, and freedom!

FIRST YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP + ADMIN

Sara enjoys long (and very slow) runs, painting, hugs, fun drinks, and exchanging testimonies! Jesus completely flipped Sara’s life around and she wants to spend the rest of her life proclaiming that He has the power to radically transform hearts.
