Having grown up in the church, Allisa is now excited to serve at FBC in this capacity. As the daughter of Pastor Carey, she moved to Virginia from Nebraska in 1990. She went to Lancaster Bible College and received degrees in Elementary Education and Bible. She went on to teach for almost 7 years in the public school system, married Joshua Avery, and resigned from teaching when their first daughter was born in 2014. Josh and Allisa have 3 kids whom she homeschools with coffee in hand. She also has the privilege of teaching 3-year-olds as well as a homeschool group at a local preschool. This position as nursery coordinator comes as a blessing to their family. Allisa is always thinking and working toward making the nursery ministry a blessing and encouragement for the littlest members of our church as well as their parents.

Emma Culler has been attending FBC since the summer of 2017. She learned early on that it was better to follow God’s plans rather than make her own plans. Following God has lead Emma on a few different paths, but He has been so good and so faithful to lead her here to FBC to be the Associate Director of Student Ministries. Emma’s desire is that each student would truly embrace their identity in Christ and grow in their knowledge of Christ’s love for them. When Emma is not at church you can find her playing tennis, hanging out with friends at Rose Hill Park, or hosting a Lord of the Rings movie night.
