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!

Thanks to Jed’s help, that dream is becoming a reality and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you!

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!

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...
