He graduated from Cincinnati Christian University (RIP) with a degree in General Ministry and have worked in the local church for 7 years now.

His focus at Wesley is on the programming side of things where we seek to cultivate a community that puts love for others and love for God at the forefront of all we do. This shows up in our Tuesday Night gatherings (The Tuesday Thing) where we gather to eat together and talk about scripture with curiosity, honesty, and grace.

Jeff loves hanging out and working with college students and would love to connect if you have questions about what we’re about! Shoot him an email at Jeffsnyder@wesleyuc.org.

Emily Howdyshell // Associate Director - Edge

Emily is the Associate Director of Edge. She graduated from Shenandoah University with a degree in Religious Studies and since then has worked in churches, museums, as a swim instructor and currently also works at the Public Library. She lives in Mt. Auburn with her wife Ailsa and many plant babies. Emily loves to travel and cook, especially baking new things and holiday treats.

Her focus with Edge is building community through programming and connecting with college students. Edge is a third space, where people find belonging beyond campus and home life, and seeks to connect with any students who are curious to learn about themselves, others and Faith through conversation and holy wrestling with topics relevant to faith and everyday life.

To see Edge Community in action you can join us for NOSH on Sunday evenings 6pm at the Wesley House. We gather for a time of prayers, singing conversation and of course a meal! For more information or to meet up with Emily you can email at emily@wesleyuc.org.
