About the Speaker

Amy is full of life, exudes compassion, born and raised on the outskirts of Reidsville, NC. She’s an outdoorsy kind of gal that loves camping, hiking, and sitting around a good ole fire pit. She’s an NC State grad and married to Craig Andrews. Together they have two daughters, Abby & Ava, one black lab, Millie (who thinks she’s a human), and a great podcast called Finding Free.

 

In her down time, Amy likes to create beautiful things, read and travel. She “love love loves” coffee, but wine is a close second, and she also loves connecting with people and hearing their stories while enjoying one of these beverages.  

 

Amy really has a way with words, and she constantly reminds us of our belovedness, the image of God within us, and ways we can be the hands and feet of Christ.  

 

Amy received her Master's of Divinity with Languages from Campbell University Divinity School. Amy serves as the senior pastor at Cedarbridge Baptist Church (NC) and currently serves on the Baptist Women in Ministry of North Carolina Leadership Board, Pitt County Schools Behavioral Health Alliance, and the CBFNC Collegiate Ministry Team.

About the Location

Lutheridge is a Christian camp and conference center located just south of Asheville. It’s a hidden oasis in the midst of a growing city. It has a rich history in outdoor ministry for over 70 years providing a space set apart for all people to experience Christ, community and nature in a new way. Built to become closer to God, we see your time here as a chance to refresh before going back into the world to make a difference. Lutheridge is about a 3 hour drive from Tellico Village.
