Students
We believe that every student is loved by God and because of God’s love we are able to grow in relationship with God and with others. The Mill – Student Ministries is here to inspire every middle and high school student to reach, feed, release others to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
ABOUT STUDENT MINISTRY
NEW HERE?
What's It Like?
The Mill is a movement of middle and high school students who come together to love God and to love one another. As a ministry of Timberlake Church, we offer our students an environment of exploration and encouragement in their walk with God and their journey in life. We exist to serve God and each other. We are all about having fun as we learn and grow in our love for God and service to others. Students engage in times of worship, prayer, Scripture lessons, fun games, and activities. Our leaders are here to encourage every student in their walk with God. We believe that we are better together and provide a space for every student as we grow In our faith as a community.
STUDENT MINISTRY DIRECTOR
MEET MAKAYLA
Makayla grew up in California but lived in seven states and five countries. She graduated from LU in 2021 with her undergrad in Theology and Creative Writing; she is also continuing her education at LU. As Director of Student Ministries, Makayla is staying in the family business as both of her parents have been pastors and missionaries well before she was born. She began her solo ministry at eleven to bring the Gospel to all who needed to hear it. With her entire foundation and experience in ministry, she desires to provide a Biblical foundation for the students of Timberlake while creating deep and personal connections with each individual…and, of course, providing some fun! Makayla also had the unique experience of working with The Walt Disney Company, where she was a Skipper on The Jungle Cruise. Makayla is an ENTP whose love language is dark-roast coffee, “Who done it” movies, and classical literature. She is also the self-proclaimed “Crunchy Youth Director,” as she is passionate about teaching to an individual’s unique learning style, homemaking within the church walls, and utilizing all that God gives us to live a holistic, healthy life.
STUDENT MINISTRY ASSISTANT
MEET REBECCA
Rebecca grew up outside of Atlanta, Georgia, one of five children. She graduated with her BA in Social Studies, and finished her MA in Secondary Education (6th-12th) in 2022. After graduating, Rebecca married her husband Eamon Kelly, and settled in Lynchburg. Coming from educating young people, Rebecca is excited to continue by serving at Timberlake. Her joy is to walk through life with students, guide them through tough questions, and support families in God-filled life.
She never saw herself in ministry, but the Lord called her to teach "His Story!" Her experience based around the psychology of learning provides a resource that can help deepen students understanding. She hopes to reach students and equip them in their walk with Christ.
Rebecca is an ESTP who enjoys being with friends and celebrating life. She loves Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Jane Austin. Romans 12:2.
