Our Team
Rev. Chelsey Brown (Executive Director)
Rev. Chelsey Brown joins us from First United Methodist Church of Port St. Joe, FL where she has served as the Associate Pastor since July of 2020. In 2011 she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Christian Education from Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL and in 2018 a Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, KY. During her years in ministry, Chelsey has served in various roles in the United Methodist Church throughout the Montgomery area and the panhandle of Florida. Pastor Chelsey has a passion for discipleship and spiritual growth development and creating healthy and inviting environments for communities of faith to be nurtured and empowered to lead lives filled with the love of God and one another.
Chelsey loves spending time with family and friends, and enjoys playing ping pong, all kinds of board games, and watching movies. She moved to the Mobile area along with her husband Rev. CJ Brown, their energetic toddler Madeline, and a snuggly beagle-mix named Oliver!
Janiya Hunt (President)
As the president of the Wesley Foundation, I have the privilege of serving in multiple areas, but my heart is especially invested in discipleship. My role involves leading and supporting our ministry’s efforts to help students grow deeper in their faith, whether through Bible studies, mentorship, or simply creating spaces where we can have meaningful conversations about God, life, or anything on our hearts. I strive to foster a community where people feel encouraged to ask questions, share their faith journeys, and strengthen their relationship with Christ.
