Hi, I'm Abby Curry! I'm a teacher (currently 6th grade ELA) who has grown up most of her life in Nampa. My husband and I attend Fairview Church of the Nazarene and are enjoying leading the youth group there as we are pursuing calls to ministry! I've recently been reminded that God's will for my life is an extension of and living out of the faith that I already have, and I'm excited to be a part of Lead Young to help me continue to dig into not only my current call, but into how God will continue to lead me through every new adventure, however that looks.

Hello All! My Name is Amy Bolton. I am a born and raised Idaho girl. I have lived in Gooding, Idaho the entirety of my life. I have attended the Desert Hills Community Church of the Nazarene since I was 14. I am 31 years old with a loving husband, 4 children and 2 grandchildren. Yes I know it seems super young to be a MiMi but you've got to love the life of a blended family. Although biologically I fall into the "Young Adult" category life has thrown some curves which have pushed me farther in life than one would have expected. The biggest one was becoming a mom at 17 yrs old during my senior year of high school. This I have found to be a blessing though as I feel I am able to connect with a wider network of people through all generations. I have my AA in Psychology and I am a Licensed Cosmetologist/Cosmetology Instructor. I am also currently in the roll of Secretary/Treasurer/Sound booth Technician/Worship Leader of our church. You've got to love the small church life! (Actually I do TRULY LOVE IT!) I am excited to be involved in the second cohort of the Lead Young Program. This opportunity has fallen into my lap unexpectedly and I truly believe it is God leading me here. I am excited to find out what He has in store for my life and my journey as a Worship Leader! If you have made it to the end of my long winded bio you are truly the hero 🙂 Thanks for listening!

Hi I'm Emma from Rocky Mountain Ministries in Pocatello, and the coffee obsessed coffee bar manager there! I'm a mom of 1 small and rambunctious girl, but in my free time I like to volunteer at RMM.

My name is Jacob Means, I am 26 years old. I'm a California transplant (sorry). I grew up in a Christian household, but my faith really became my own in early 2019. Now I really want to see the growth of the church as a whole, following and teaching the truth of the Bible. I've spent the last 15 years running A/V tech for churches, but I feel God leading me in a completely new direction, which I hope to explore during my time with Lead Young. I am excited to be entering into the Lead Young program with my wife who I hope to go into ministry with.
