Emily Hull McGee began her ministry at Highland in June of 2009 as the newly-created Minister to Young Adults. A 2009 Master of Divinity graduate of the Wake Forest University School of Divinity in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Emily’s unexpected calling to ministry followed a lifetime of musical training and preparation for a career as an opera singer. In addition to deepening her passion for the arts, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in music from Furman University and Northwestern University respectively gave Emily a first taste of life outside the church culture of her youth. Scholastic work in the fields of postmodern expressions of faith, theology and pop culture, ritual and worship, and politics proved to be fertile grounds for her growing passion for ministry among young adults. Emily is thrilled to be in a church community who shares this same commitment to unconventional, creative, and emerging ministry with the 18-35ish crowd.Emily follows a long line of Hulls into the ministry (or the “family business,” as we lovingly refer to it!) – even brother Andrew squeezes in a bit of ministerial work with middle schoolers between gigs with his soon-to-be-famous band, Old Slouch Hat. She calls “the South” her home and loves road trips to see family and pals scattered around it. Aside from deep theological conversations in coffee shops and pubs, Emily relishes a long afternoon with her camera and the outdoors, frequent overseas journeys, a good story (preferably of the Harry Potter variety), hosting gatherings in her new old house, and soaking up all that Louisville has to offer with her husband, Josh.
