Amanda Ellery

Amanda Ellery believes that student ministry should be a safe place for youth to learn and grow in understanding how being a Christian is relevant and important in their lives. She wants to help young people understand ways to develop a personal relationship with God through prayer, biblical study, and open discussion that will mature with them as they navigate their way to adulthood. 

Bradley UMC has been a pillar of the Greenfield community for well over a hundred years, and Amanda wants to help continue that tradition by assisting youth in becoming strong Christian people with hearts for helping their neighbors, community, and friends. Everyone has a place to learn and grow at Bradley.
