Leadership Team
Isaiah King
Volunteer Coordinator for Red Door Ministry
Isaiah joined the staff in 2020 and helps keep track of volunteer hours, reports data to Feed More, and engages with the VCU and Red Door Community weekly. Isaiah is a great addition to the team and has already been trained to be a “shopper” for FeedMore and helps Amber Weaver, our kitchen coordinator out in ways that are above and beyond his job. Isaiah is personable and always has a quiet smile on his face; keep an eye out for him on Fridays at Red Door Ministry.
Julie Terhune
Episcopal Campus Ministry
Julia has worked with ECM since 2018 and is a senior leader. She sings in the choir, serves as a chalice bearer and helps leads the children’s choirs on occasion. She coordinates music for Red Door on Fridays. Her summer 2020 project is to coordinate care packages for college students, develop a way to color together virtually, and have a game night so that we can all reconnect before school starts up again in August.
Jasmine Novell
Red Door Ministry
Jasmine started working for Red Door Ministry after joining Episcopal Campus Ministry in the Fall of 2019. She regularly participated in our SERVANT lunch and worked alongside our Social Work Interns in the clothing closet and at the information desk before COVID-19. She returned to VCU and officially joined our staff again in the Fall of 2020. Jasmine is a Senior at VCU and is studying Science and Pre-Pharmacy. If you are interested in hosting a clothing drive or making a donation to the clothing closet, including hygiene items, masks, or things for Bishop Bags, Jasmine is your woman. Jasmine is also the person behind our Thirsty for Justice posts on Social Media. If you have a story, you would like to share about justice in the world and how your faith influences it, share it with us!
