Paul Bickford Student Ministries Pastor
Paul Bickford is the Student Ministries Pastor here at Fellowship. He felt God's call to minister to youth when he was still in high school and has been involved in youth ministry for about 15 years. He loves to creatively communicate God's life-changing message to students. His passion is seeing that 'light bulb' turn on over a student's head when he or she begins to realize the immensity of God's love for them. Seeing the incredible fruit that accompanies this realization has truly been a blessing.
Paul has been married to his amazing wife Carn for 13 years. They have three wonderful children of whom he couldn't be more proud. When he isn't spending time with his family Paul enjoys drawing, painting, sports, fishing, reading and anything that involves being outdoors.
Teraza Lee Student Ministries Small Group Director
Teraza is fairly new to Fellowship and serves as a Student Ministry Small Group Director. She has worked in full time Youth Ministry for 8 years and enjoys the process of collaborating with others to create strategic environments where life transformation can take place. Teraza brings a dynamic unfolding vision for small groups which is fueled by her passion and deep conviction that young people are simply "better together."
With a powerful testimony of God's saving grace, Teraza became "Radically Saved" at the tender age of 15 and has been serving the Lord with her whole heart ever since. You will find her to be authentic, funny, sensitive, creative, and at times, just as crazy as the students and leaders she works with. She is truly a called person and her heart for young people is contagious.
Teraza has two amazing daughters, Heaven (5) and Kristen (2). When away from Fellowship she spends most of her time enjoying her family, extended family, and friends. She loves entertaining, bargain hunting, watching movies, and making a difference in the lives of young people.
Kathy Burle Student Ministries Administrative Assistant
Life is never dull in the Student Ministries' Office - there are always things to be organized & Kathy is chief organizer. As Administrative Assistant, she handles the detail work on retreats and events, tracks finances, updates the website, helps support the other Student Ministry staff, provides information for parents, and does whatever else she can to keep things humming. Kathy feels very privileged to be part of a ministry that helps students grow, both in their relationship with Christ and with each other. If you have questions about what is going on with Student Ministries, please don't hesitate to contact her.
An Atlanta native, Kathy amazed her entire family by breaking Southern tradition and marrying Tim, a Midwesterner, 20 years ago. They have been involved in a mutual accent rehabilitation program ever since (she's winning). Tim and Kathy are blessed with two active college students, Ryan (UGA) and Amanda (Kennesaw State). The Burle Family has attended Fellowship since 1998, when they were attracted by the authentic worship and great teaching. Tim is a guitarist for the Worship Team and both kids have been active with the Youth Ministry. When there is spare time to be found, Kathy enjoys reading, surfing the Net, playing with the family dog, watching UGA football, and listening to her husband's guitar solos.
