Nice to meet you

Former youth pastor, church planter, senior pastor, and church consultant, you could say Michael’s lived nine lives—and he’s still going. Today, he writes books and articles and helps create courses for church leaders. Michael’s a graduate of Florida State University and did post-graduate work at Liberty University. Husband to Jennie and father to three kids, you can find him smoking ribs or grilling steaks on the Big Green Egg on the weekends.

Finance leader extraordinaire, Erin joins us from Thrivent, where she worked in the Church Solutions Division. She’s a Jane-of-all-trades, combining her skills in finance, business strategy, and graphic design to make Church Fuel run as smoothly—and beautifully—as possible. When she’s not at work, Erin enjoys running around the lakes in Minnesota, going to college football games, snowboarding, or hanging out with her husband and two kiddos.

Shannon’s all about words (both reading and writing them). She takes that passion and applies it to managing content for our members and blog. A North Carolina native and graduate of East Carolina University, Shannon’s background combines church communications, digital marketing, and a brief stint in the fashion industry. After work, you can find her spending time with friends, with her head in a good book, or at a new restaurant.

Marketing Specialist … or resident mastermind? Sophie does it all. More specifically, she creates, maintains and adjusts marketing campaigns and product deliverability alongside Sales and Marketing here at Church Fuel. She graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and is a recent transplant to the Atlanta area. She’s known around town as a worship leader, business owner, coffee drinker, dog mom, and rock climber.

Jess is a bit of a magician—she crafts customer experiences and helps bring them to life through prototyping, testing, and UX research. She graduated from the University of St. Thomas and currently lives in Minneapolis with her husband, Blake. When she’s not at work, you can find her taking photos or teaching herself how to paint.

Ashley brings energy and spreads compliments everywhere she goes. An Illinois native and graduate of Northern Illinois University, she continues to boast in all things “Chicago”. Her hobbies include working out, learning wrestling from her husband, and real estate window shopping.

Katrina creates, curates, revises, and reviews content for Church Fuel bundles and products. A farm girl from the middle of Minnesota, Katrina now lives in Minneapolis with her two wonderful and precocious daughters. When not thinking through content campaigns, she likes to paint, read, and coax green things to life.
