Here at FAC, we believe in loving our neighbors, reaching the nations, and raising up the next generation.
A practical way we raise up the next generation is through internships and residencies. Young leaders get real life church experience through staff meetings, ministry initiatives, and having a voice at the table. We love seeing how God is working in Gen Z!
Wes Elliott, Seth Huggard, Morgan Miller, and Ella Morton are interning this summer in several different ministries areas alongside our staff and volunteers.
We also welcomed Rebecca Hedman and Nathan Thallman as our third cohort of Greenhouse Residents. Nathan has already started, and Rebecca will join us in August after she finishes a summer mission trip in Paraguay.
We hope you enjoy learning a little more about each of our interns and residents. When you see them around, be sure to say hello and encourage them!
