He received an MDiv from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and is now pursuing a PhD in Pastoral Theology, also at SEBTS.

Holly Paulette

Holly grew up in Richmond, Virginia, graduated from Virginia Tech in 2013 with a BA in English, and has since worked in administration and marketing at a homeless shelter, as a writer for her beloved alma mater, and in various roles at Valley Bible Church. She is a lover of words and the power they hold, an avid grammar nerd, and would choose a good book over nearly anything else. Holly is a disciple of Jesus, the wife of Morgan, and the mother of three wild and beautiful kids: Bentley, Shiloh, and Elsie. They also have a donkey and dozens of goats, though Holly is, by her own admission, a bit "indoorsy."

 

Michael Worrall

Michael is a graduate of the Bonhoeffer Haus and served as the associate pastor at Sojourn Church in Floyd before joining staff. He cares deeply about forming whole-hearted leaders in and for the church. He received his BA in Communication from Virginia Tech and his M.Div from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Michael has been married to Emily since 2017 and together they have 2 beautiful girls: Lila and Audrey. Michael loves music, nerd books, and good coffee. He once used his own initials as the inspiration for a band name and his friends will never let him live it down.
