Our Leaders | MVF Students

The team

Leaders your students will actually know

Every MVF Students leader is background-checked, trained, and here on purpose. These aren't volunteers filling a slot — they're adults who chose your kid's Wednesday night over their own couch.

Ashley Sheleretis

Student Ministry Director

Helped plant MVF Church in 2008. Spends an unreasonable amount of time trying to convince teenagers that whatever she planned is actually fun.

I want every student to walk in and know they are seen and loved, and from there to know Jesus, understand Scripture, and build a faith that can withstand real life.

J&N

Josh & Nicole

Youth Leaders

Led MVF Students before Ashley. A lot of what happens on a Wednesday night now started with them, and plenty of these students met them first.

Zayleigh Findarle

Youth Leader

Joined MVF in 2020. At 19 she still speaks fluent group chat, leans into the awkward moments, and knows how much it matters when someone keeps showing up.

I want to be someone who helps students discover their own identity in Christ, and see that choosing Jesus even in the small moments is something that will change their life.

Sophie Higby

Youth Leader

Intergenerational community is vital to the life of the Church, and getting to pour into the next generation is a huge honor and blessing.

Dustin and Terha Findarle, MVF Students leaders

D&T

Dustin & Terha Findarle

Youth Leaders

Married 21 years and raising six kids of their own, so a room full of teenagers does not faze them.

We want teenagers to know they are seen, valued, and deeply loved by Jesus, and to have a place where they can ask hard questions, be completely themselves, and grow into who God created them to be.

Addi Lawson

Youth Leader

A skier, hiker, and all-things-outdoors adventure seeker. Always learning, growing, and looking for the next one.

I want to serve God by walking alongside students during a time of life that often feels overwhelming and confusing. I remember being in middle school and how much it mattered to have someone there to listen, encourage, and point back to Jesus.
