Amy Abel

Business Ops DirectorAmy Abel is a multi-tasking force of nature who somehow juggles running operations, organizing church and business schedules, managing audio engineers, and keeping people alive and sane, all while staying the calmest chaos coordinator in the room. She’s equal parts intelligence, heart, and sarcasm, with a knack for turning problems into plans, and plans into “don’t worry, we’ll figure it out.” Whether she’s leading worship, negotiating contracts, or just helping things run smoother for everyone around her, Amy brings warmth, wit, and a whole lot of heart wherever she goes.
