Meet our Missionaries
Arin and Shauna have been the Youth Alive Missionaries for the Potomac Network since February of 2018. They first met at Southeastern University in Lakeland Florida where Arin majored in Practical Theology and Shauna in Elementary Education. After getting married in 2014, they moved to Maryland where Shauna taught Kindergarten and Arin was the Student Ministries Pastor at Hope Fellowship. Now, living with their family of four in Virginia, they continue to equip and encourage students and leaders to share Faith Better.
