KEVIN & KIM MACFEE

Kevin & Kim pioneered Chi Alpha @ Embry-Riddle in 1997.  Their kids are all grown now > Elle & Nate, along with Stella and Owen, live in Prescott > Broc, Haven, and Keva live in Springfield, MO > Rye & Ellie also live in Springfield. They look for every opportunity to hang out with their kids and grandkids > nothing encourages them more.

Though they’re ‘the old guys’ now > they love the craziness that comes with serving university students more than ever. On Tuesday nights students smash into their house for a home-cooked meal, lots of laughter & heart-felt stories of faith from their friends.

Kevin & Kim met in Minneapolis while going to school (Kevin>Pastoral Studies, Kim>Elementary Ed) where they had a ridiculously good college experience (one of the reasons they're so stoked to help you find a remarkable story while in Prescott)

Kim grew up in Payson, Arizona, riding quads & water skiing @ Roosevelt Lake.

Kevin grew up in Bay Village, Ohio & loves the opportunities we get to explore beautiful places across the southwest.

Maureen has served @ Embry-Riddle for 13 years. They have 4 kids: Olivia (18), Eli (17), Amaiya (12), & Isaac (9). Like most families, they spend a lot of their time racing between dance rehearsals, hockey practice, school & church. Maureen leads worship on Friday nights @ Elevate & spends time mentoring students.

Maureen met her husband, Matt, in Springfield, Missouri, while attending Evangel University (Matt> History, Maureen> Psychology) where they still have a lot of friends & a ton of great memories..

Maureen grew up as a military brat and claims the St. Louis area as "home". She loves creative arts, hiking, and spending time with friends.

NATE & ELLE BRAWNER

Elle grew up in Prescott & started attending Chi Alpha when she was 4! (She’s Kevin & Kim’s daughter). She grew up watching students make honest attempts at loving God & one another.

Nate & Elle met while Nate was an Embry-Riddle student serving on leadership & Elle was back from college serving on staff. They got married, moved to Iowa for Nate’s job, & now are back in Prescott serving on staff. Nate works full time as an engineer & Elle is the mom of a growing family - and they love living their life alongside the this community of students.

They both mentor students & Elle is a part of the worship team. They share a passion to share their home and create spaces for students to grow in faith & community.

They have 2 kids, Stella & Owen, and love watching them grow up around such amazing & inspiring students. Their free time is spent making up new games with their kids, visiting family, and changing diapers.
