Paula joined the BCM in January 2025 and is no stranger to college ministry. She and her husband Stephen both have a passion for discipling the next generation of church leaders that is rooted in over a decade of college ministry and church planting. Together, with a handful of like-minded ministry friends and some college students, they trusted the Lord's calling and formed a team that planted Risen Life Fellowship in 2016 out of a large college ministry called The Journey. Today, Stephen continues to serve as one of the pastors/elders, and Paula serves as children's director. Both originally from Morristown/Jeff Co, they settled in Johnson City after graduating ETSU in 2013, having been married in 2012. Paula loves taking walks with her husband and their toy Australian Shepherd named Charli, traveling to new places, cooking dinner for friends and baking anything with sourdough, watching TN football, kayaking, watercoloring and repurposing old furniture.
