Emily Phenice

Born in Lake Charles, LA, Emily earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from McNeese State University. After graduation she worked as an elementary art teacher for a year before moving to Oxford, MS to further explore a call into ministry. Emily is currently working on my Master of Divinity at Duke Divinity School. 

She enjoys hanging out with friends, Duke sports, watching movies and reading fun fiction books.  

Her favorite bible verse comes from the book of Acts: 

“Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.” Acts 2:43-47 NRSV
