Gavin and Michaela are so excited to step into a leadership role with the youth at Whittington as of August 2018. They have been married since June of 2016 and most recently welcomed their first daughter, Norah Ruth. They also have a puppy named Murray.
Gavin grew up in Ewing and attended Benton High School. He was involved in football and led Fellowship of Christian Students throughout his time there. He then went on to Murray State University where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Graphics and Design. Through a series of events, God has called him to use a different skill set and work at Country Financial in West Frankfort. Gavin enjoys working on their new home, being with family, woodworking and building LEGOs. A lot of LEGOs.
At Murray State, Gavin met a red-headed Kentucky girl named Michaela Jarvis. They began dating in the summer of 2014 before he asked her to marry him in September of 2015. Obviously, she said yes! They have since added two beautiful daughters to their family!
Michaela grew up in Owensboro, Kentucky and attended Daviess County High School. She played volleyball all 4 years and was involved in all the musicals. She, too, went on to Murray State and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work. She worked as a case manager for adults with severe mental illness before becoming a full-time mommy in May of this year. She enjoys being with Norah, playing piano, hand lettering art, and saying “all y’all.”
Both Gavin and Michaela have a heart for working with students and are so excited to be involved. Gavin has interned with the youth at Immanuel and Michaela has worked summer camp teaching Bible study for middle and high school students. They ask that you pray for them on their journey as they understand the importance of the role they are filling.
