Hello bloggers. My name is Magan Atwood and I have the great blessing of serving as the Director for Appalachian Ministries. I am originally from Eubank, Kentucky but have lived in Williamsburg for almost ten years. I graduated from University of the Cumberlands in 2006 with a major in Religion and minor in Communication Arts. I also have a Masters of Arts in Religion in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and I recently received Board Certification through the American Association of Christian Counselors. I have served as the Director of Appalachian Ministries and the Campus Ministries Associate for four years. I am married to the love of my life, David Atwood, who serves with me on our campus and in the community. He also serves as a 7th grade math teaching in our county school. We will celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary on June 16 this year. We have a passion for students and desire to disciple them, help them discover their calling and passion, and help develop their Christian leadership skills. We have a blast serving together and getting to do what God has placed a deep desire in our hearts to do. Our heart breaks for the children and families in our area and we desire to show them God's great love. We really strive, along with our incredible student volunteers, to put love in action. We are blessed beyond measure to be serving our Heavenly Father.
