Emma is an intern and Lead Kid at CrossPath Church. She is currently a senior at Johnson University majoring in Missions and Bible & Theology. She grew up a PK (pastor's kid) as her family pastored various churches in East Tennessee and spending her summers at church camps.

​

Emma found her passion to serve kids when she began working with foster care children seven years ago. This work formed her desire to be trauma-informed in order to create a church community that is well equipped and safe for children of all backgrounds and families of all sizes. She wants to live out her calling to love them well and while sharing Biblical Truth and watching them grow together in spirit and truth.

​

She began her focused work with youth and children three years ago in the church and outreach ministries of Young Life and Thrive. This work has given her opportunities throughout Tennessee in such cities as Greeneville, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Knoxville. She is excited to see how God continues to grow her opportunities for ministries here in Johnson City through the work of CrossPath Church.

When Emma isn't at church, she enjoys her time with her dogs and adventuring outdoors backpacking and rock climbing.
