Nathan loves spending time with his wife Whitney and playing sports any chance he gets. Nathan has a passion for students, Scripture, preaching the Word and helping students deepen their walk with Christ.

Carolyn Culberson, Girls Coordinator

Carolyn has been part of the Christ Methodist team for about five and a half years—first as a summer intern, then as a year-round intern and now as the full-time Girls' Coordinator. She is getting married in February 2011 and is excited to start a new season in her personal life. Her heart and desire are for Middle and High School girls to develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the Lord and to carry that over into the rest of their lives: family, friends, school, sports and dating. For fun, Carolyn loves to read, paint, cook and swim.

Caitlin Page, Girls Coordinator

Caitlin is a University of North Texas graduate and moved to the wonderful city of Memphis to be a part of the 2010-2011 Emerging Leaders program with Downline Ministries. She joined our staff in the fall of 2010 and has recently fallen in love with the SEC and, more importantly, the Auburn Tigers. Caitlin enjoys spending her time reading, drinking coffee and playing any type of game. She is passionate about authentic discipleship and pouring into younger girls.

Davo Adams, Guys Coordinator

Davo came on staff in June 2010 after graduating from The University of Missouri. He is a devoted Missouri Tigers fan and looks forward to their many future National Titles. His desire is to see students' lives transformed by the Gospel and watch them go forth giving their lives to labor for the Kingdom in every place. He also has a passion for U.S. Soccer, Dave Matthews Band, and Ching's Wings.





CUMC Student Ministries is a place to grow in Christ, connect with friends, and have a lot of fun! Our prayer is that students from CUMC and across Memphis might join together here and worship together, study God's Word together, and support each other in a life devoted to Jesus. We look forward to the awesome trips, unique events, and shared experiences as we glorify God inside and outside the walls of this church.
