  • Kathryn is an Atlanta native and longtime Kirkwood resident who believes in supporting her community and using her skills to make changes for the better, both big and small.

Along with organizing this seasonal sale, she has spent 10 years serving as Treasurer for small nonprofit schools, and currently fills this roll at The Heartwood School. She lives in nearby Kirkwood with her husband and son and enjoys gardening, hiking, and her morning smoothie. Fun fact, she can sing virtually all of the lyrics to random classic rock songs without realizing she even knows the lyrics!

  • Reggie serves as the Facilities Manager here at Neighborhood Church. Reggie enjoys traveling, football, and video games. His life work is for the edification of our Lord and Savior. A quote he loves is: “Where the is no struggle, there is no progress”. Be sure to say hi to Reggie when you see him around the building!

  • Michelle loves hiking, coffee, spending time with family, and traveling to new places. She got involved with Neighborhood Church because her former pastor from her home church went to seminary with Anjie and Andi and let her know they were starting a new church; she tried it out and loved it and has stuck around ever since– what a fun connection! She loves telling the story of churches and community groups and is so glad to get to work with Neighborhood Church in this capacity during this season.

  • Kelly moved to Atlanta in 2022 to attend Candler School of Theology. She graduated from Georgia Southern University with an Interior Design degree and had a design career in Naples, Florida for 18 years before deciding to make a life change and return to school.

Discovering Neighborhood Church has brought immense joy to her life, and she is thrilled to embark on an internship journey within her newfound faith community. She adores cats and horses, but dogs are her true love. Live musicals are her happy place. A foodie at heart, she seeks culinary adventures while savoring a cold brew coffee and engaging in deep conversations.
