I’m Amy Shores, and I work with college students/young adults to lead ministry geared toward that age group in the Conway area as part of our Wesley Foundation ministry. I have an MDiv from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and have recently earned a certificate in spiritual direction from Perkins School of Theology at SMU. I have served as the Wesley Foundation Director at FUMC since August 2021. Prior to my work at the Wesley, I served as the Director of Pastoral Care at Methodist Family Health, and as the youth/young adult minister at Asbury UMC in Little Rock. I’m passionate about the mental health of young people, and as such am a certified trainer in Adult, Teen, and Youth Mental Health First Aid. I also serve on the board of Mount Eagle Retreat Center and as an adult with the Arkansas Conference Council for Youth Ministry. I love floral prints, bright colors, being outside, and reading on my back porch. My favorite places to visit in the Conway area are Doc’s Coffee, Bell Urban Farmstand, and Cross Creek Sandwich Shop!
