Youth Leaders

Noel and his wife Alison were led to pursue youth ministry from the impact it had in their lives as teens. They both studied Youth Ministry and Bible at Northwestern College in Minnesota . After college at Northwestern, Noel worked with MN Teen Challenge for just over two years as Alison finished school and worked with a local church in an internship. They then moved to Long Island, NY where Noel continued education for Network Security at The Chubb Institute and Alison started her own mural and decorative painting business. Looking to stay near Alison’s family and to move off of expensive Long Island, they moved to NC. Shortly after their move, Noel took a job with the Easter Seals UCP IT department and Alison grew her business. Noel is currently working with Glasshouse Technologies as a Technical Support Engineer and Alison has resolved her business to work with her most prestigious clients – their two daughters.

Noel and Alison were married in 2003, Julie was born in 2006 and Becca in 2008. They also enjoy their 2 guinea pigs – Lucy and Piglet.
