UPDATE Late July

July has been full of fun and celebrations. 

Fun on the 4th

Several years of Fellows and friends went to the Dash game for baseball and fireworks!


Never Too Late For A Wedding Reception 

Christian McConnon and Sydney were married in January during the crazy blizzard that never really materialized  (do you remember that?) They moved their wedding and postponed the reception for the summer. 

It was worth it. WHAT A NIGHT!

Lots of old friends. And lots of dancing!

Oh. And a reminder to never leave Trent Hancock alone!


Birthdays

Caroline Wolfe threw her fiance, the one and only Garrett Briggs a birthday party. 

Anna Rose had a sweet sixteen and scored a new ride. 

Here is Ned realizing he was dropping off Anna Rose at the horse barn for the last time.

This horse girl scored herself a truck! Giddy-up!


She said YES!

Speaking of being in the works since January. Owen pulled off one of the big surprises of the summer by convincing Michelle to plan a surprise party for his birthday, all the while, he was planning to surprise her with a proposal!

Hef was a primary schemer. 

And they pulled it off!

What a fun celebration! Can't wait for the real deal!

Congratulations Owen and Michelle!

September 2025

  September 2025 It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the tenth class of Winston-Salem Fellows! We can’t wait for you to meet them. The first month has already been full and exciting, and we can’t wait to share some highlights with you. Plus, if you read all the way to the end, you’ll get a special update on what the very first class of Winston-Salem Fellows is up to today! Video Loading    For the past year, we’ve been dreaming about creating a new video to share the Fellows’ stories and highlight the impact of this program. Thanks to Jed’s help, that dream is becoming a reality and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you! Annual Alumni Labor Day Cookout  We kicked off the year with our annual Alumni Labor Day Cookout and it may have been the best weather we’ve ever had for this event! On Day One, we were grateful to welcome the new class of Fellows into the wider Fellows community. Winston-Salem Fellows class of 2026 We’re so excited for you to me...

October 2025

October 2025 The Carolina Classic Fair seems to usher in fall here in Winston-Salem. We are now in the full swing of our Fellow's schedule. We've celebrated birthdays, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and more!  Happy Birthday Alana! Sweet Alana is so easy to celebrate! Dharma and Gracie, from the class of '24, threw Alana a party and planned an early morning hike for our girl that loves the great outdoors! Round Table We've continued to be hosted by some incredible alumni and have done a terrible job of taking pictures. Above, Kevin was leading us in worship and Jed (dressed as a pirate) was capturing footage for our video. Thank you to all our hosts this month: Ava, Ellie, Eliza, and Hardy; Molly and Lucy; Drew, Kevin, and Jed; Steve and Christy!  Leader Lunch We are so honored and humbled by the men and women who take the time to invest in the Fellows year after year and share their stories.

May 2026

The Winston-Salem Fellows class of 2025–2026 has officially graduated! We had a wonderful end to the year celebrating all that this class and our year together.  As we close out another incredible year, be sure to check out an update on the Fellows class of 2023–2024 below. We’re excited to share what they’ve been doing since graduation and how they continue to make an impact in Winston-Salem and beyond. Happy Birthday, William! William’s birthday is actually in August, but summer birthdays are always a surprise celebration around here. Although, since we celebrated at the last Round Table, I’m not sure it was much of a surprise after all.  For the guy who can’t have peanuts and doesn’t like most chocolate, birthday cake ice cream saved the day!   Leader Lunch Our last Leader Lunch of the year was with Charlie Barham at Cassia Capital. While Charlie has an  impressive résumé, much of our conversation centered on his passion for Jesus and his leadership with Bible Stu...
