💛 UP-LIGHT: Chuck & Alison
Some people come into your life and you just know God had a hand in it. That’s Chuck and Alison. Their story of how they came to UP is a beautiful testimony, and honestly, they’re still living it!
These two drive almost 50 minutes EVERY SINGLE WEEK to be with their UP family, not to mention all the events, Bible studies, and everything else they show up for. They’ve always looked for ways to jump in and help, and they do just that! From set up and tear down to serving in Kids Ministry, they’re always willing to do whatever needs to be done. And the love they have for the kids at UP is so special. We truly can’t imagine it without them!
One of the sweetest things has been watching God move in Chuck’s life, growing him and molding him into the man of God he was always created to be. Getting to witness that has been such a beautiful thing.
And Alison… if you’ve spent any time around the ladies at UP, chances are you’ve heard how she’s impacted someone’s life. She’s been open about some of the struggles she’s walked through, but she’s a fighter. She’s strong, and she carries a light that reaches people in ways she may not even realize. Alison, you are loved, you are worthy, and you are enough. ❤️
Both of them have walked through hard things in their past, but those things don't define who they are today. They are surrounded by a family who loves them, who will stand beside them, and who will show up for them just like we know they would for us.
And let's not forget these two met later in life and, if you ask them, they're still living in their honeymoon days! ❤️ You’ll almost always find them smiling on a Sunday, and if Chuck hasn't made you laugh yet, just give him a minute!
Chuck and Alison, we are SO thankful God brought y’all into our UP family. We love you both, and we hope you know just how much you mean to us! 💛
