OUR STAFF
Drew Mines came to faith in Christ when he was in the teen ministry while living in Los Angeles at the age of 14. He graduated from Virginia Tech with an undergraduate degree in History and a Masters in Education. He is currently finishing up his Masters of Divinity with a concentration in New Testament at Regent University. He loves goofing off with his son Brooks and going to restaurants with his wife. He loves all things competitive: sports, board games and word puzzles. His Bible expertise is in the Gospels and Acts, and he loves studying the word of God learning more about Jesus.
Jenny Mines grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and became a disciple as a teenager. She attended James Madison University and graduated with a degree in Dietetics. She went onto intern and serve in the ministry full-time after college in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was there she met her husband, Drew, got married, and had their first son. Jenny loves being a mom, baking, and spending time with women especially over coffee. She also loves exploring new restaurants, hiking, being outdoors, and traveling.
Ayhanna Booker
Ayhanna Booker is a Midwesterner, born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. She considers it a privilege to have served in ministry for more than twenty-five years and often says that she serves at the honor and pleasure of the King. She loves walking alongside women as they study God's Word, pray together, practice the way of Jesus, and grow into wholehearted disciples who know and reflect Christ.​
​
Before entering full-time ministry, Ayhanna earned her law degree from the University of Virginia and practiced tax law. Although she eventually exchanged the courtroom for the classroom and counseling room, she still enjoys saying she can help with the two things everyone says are unavoidable—death and taxes.
Ayhanna is deeply grateful for the years she shared with her beloved husband, whose joyful, faithful, and loving partnership continue to shape her life and ministry. Today she is embracing the adventure of launching their three amazing children into adulthood.
Tony Williams
Tony came to Howard University to “pursue” chemistry, but later found himself really “pursuing” Christ. It is there that he made Jesus Lord, and fell in love with doing ministry. Tony is a husband and a “proud” father of two adult sons. Tony has served in the full-time ministry for over 3 decades, many of those years with his wife, Tasha--the love of his life. He spent 10 years as a missionary serving churches in Papua New Guinea, but also serving churches in the Midwest, and on the East Coast. To him, ministry is walking with God, loving people, and enjoying them. You will always find Tony in the fellowship: strengthening, encouraging, and instilling faith in others. In his free time, you might find Tony, drinking coffee, taking walks, or doing card tricks.
