UPDATE Week of May 1

A Good Week to be a Fellow

It was a sweet week around here. After a really busy weekend, several Fellows took a breath and headed to the mountains for an overnight adventure and a big hike on Saturday.


Round Table
Didn't get a picture, so you will have to take my word for it. We had a fabulous Round Table with Elisabeth Anthony (Fellow Alum! Woo Hoo!) On her big front porch this week. 

With the RJR Band in the background and getting to wave at strolling neighbors - it really did feel like we were a part of the fabric. 

Which we are. 

thanks Elisabeth!


Leader Lunch

Drew Gerstmyer, the architect, developer, and all-around amazing guy wow-ed the Fellows once again with some of the stories that have made him the man he is. 

I am grateful we have men like him in this city. Half the places I frequent this guy played a part in making them happen.

thanks Drew


Bible Study

Shout out to Shannon and David and Rob and Cyndy for leading Bible Study this year. You are number one in my book!



Class with Nigel and Leadership Edge
Another photo fail, but golly gee, we had a swell time with Nigel on Friday. Leadership Edge wasn't so bad either! A good good day of learning was had by all.


Cabin Time
Most of the Fellows had planned a camping trip for this weekend. However, with thunderstorms in the forecast, they pivoted to a weekend at the Erickson Cabin. 

They were welcomed by a critter or two as we had not been up there in a while. But a great time was had by all!







Stone Mountain
The sun came out on Saturday and the Fellows headed down the street to Stone Mountain State Park to hike the loop. 

They made one wrong turn and were very grateful when they finally made it back to their car! Ha!





Recruiting


This week we had a long "interview" with a potential Fellow who got to hang out with us for most of the day on Wednesday and Friday! He certainly got a good taste test. 

We hope to officially interview him this week. 

We are in process with another potential Fellow. 

WE NEED FEMALES! 

Please help us recruit today!

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.

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...
