About Us
David Moore, Pastor
Born at Emory Hospital, I became a husband and pastor at age 26. Still doing both. I love Jesus, the Church, the Word of God, my wife, kids, and grandkids. I hope I love all people. I like running, traveling, reading, a medium rare steak, and dark chocolate. Overwhelmed by Big Daddy Weave is the song of my heart.
Patrick Wood, Music Minister
I am originally from Houston, Texas but I’ve spent almost my entire life in Georgia. I have a wonderful and loving wife, three great kids, and a home that I’m constantly renovating. I love everything music. I sing, I play guitar, piano, drums, bass, mandolin and ukulele. I write and arrange songs and never get tired of it! I played soccer growing up and love to watch my favorite team, Chelsea, playing on Saturday mornings. I love grilling and I can smoke a pretty delicious salmon! I feel God’s call to spread His word through music and to share and sing about His love to others. I’m thrilled and honored to be here at Covenant Church!
Alaneh Morrison, Kids Ministry
I am Mom to an adventurous 6-year-old boy and 2 miniature dachshunds. I am married to a Steelers fanatic. We love to go to Disney World! We spend one week every summer on the beach with our extended family. I love to travel, paint, read, and watch Hallmark movies! God has called me to care for the smallest people, and my passion is sharing Christ with them.
Emily Kelly, Student Ministry
A proud graduate of the University of Georgia and Candler School of Theology, I love to learn about anything and everything (currently learning about basketball, woodworking, golf, and baking with sourdough starter). Jesus has given me a strong foundation to navigate life! Theologian Howard Thurman transformed my understanding of who I am as God has created me and how I see others. My passion is helping adolescents see how the Holy Spirit is guiding them. I am a provisional deacon in the United Methodist Church. In addition to serving at Covenant Church, I serve as a Chaplain for the Department of Juvenile Justice.
Rachel Wendel, Office Administration
Born the only child of two loving parents in Marietta, Georgia, I grew up in and around this church. Some of my oldest and fondest memories are with this congregation. I have been a student all my life, and recently completed a Master’s degree in Computer Science. I hope to carry that spirit of growth and learning well into my future. With that same heart, one of my hobbies is studying foreign languages, most recently Korean and Chinese. Although not fluent in any second language, I love the journey of learning and connecting to new cultures. Through faith, family, and learning, I push forward into a future only God knows.
