Brandon Credle
I am a 29-year old Ewing/Trenton native who loves music and helping families become financially literate. People are often surprised to find out that I love to travel to many different places each year. I am excited about the Zoe Project because it gives me the opportunity to share personal values and learn new Christian values through other congregations’ ministries.

I am a vibrant and tenacious elementary teacher who is resilient through life’s journey as a black woman. People are often surprised to find out that I like to play video games. I’m excited to participate in the Zoe Project because I look forward to seeing everyone grow over the next few years.
Monique Jones
Monique Jones is a mother, sister, daughter, teacher, minister, counselor, and advocate for black youth and families, seeking to incorporate the love of God into building self-empowered, self-loved, sustainable communities. One surprising thing about me is that I have skydived in the plains of Argentina.
I am excited about the Zoe Project because I believe the future of the church lies in the hands of our young adults and it is extremely important that this demographic not only feels attached to the church, but is able to recognize that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is still as relevant today for them as it was for their parents and those that came before them. I look forward to being part of a project that will challenge limits and work to help congregations expand their understanding of church to match the expansiveness of God.
Randy Nyce
I like my wife, my son, my church, my friends, helping people with money, helping churches be generous, Philly sports, the Oxford comma, and Jesus; not necessarily in that order. People are often surprised to find out that I can play the William Tell Overture on my head. I’m excited about The Zoe Project because the faith of young adults makes the church stronger and keeps old head’s faith vital.
Cassandra Zetts
I am a 25-year-old wife and high school social studies teacher who loves crafting, reading, and eating Indian food. People are often surprised to find out that I teach in the same school (and in the same department) as my husband! I’m excited about The Zoe Project because I believe that when passionate and driven young adults get together, BIG things can happen!
Zach Jones Long
I am recently married, carpenter by trade, I enjoy reading, rock climbing, cooking, woodworking, and listening to podcasts. People are often surprised to find out that I held the shot put record at my high school for 13 years. I’m excited about The Zoe Project because Salford has been such an important part of my faith walk and I want to share it with other young adults.
Tori Jones Long
I am a newly married transplant to Pennsylvania, and I love ecology, reading, volunteering, and experiencing new cultures through food. People are often surprised to find out that I rode a bike across the United States. I’m excited about The Zoe Project because I want to create something that helps millennials fall (back) in love with church.
Joseph Hackman
I’m a husband, father of two, lead pastor of Salford Mennonite Church, and I love to cook, jog, and obsess over the successes and many failures of Philadelphia sports. People are often surprised to find out that I am a Mennonite pastor. Every. Single. Time. I’m excited about The Zoe Project because it provides our congregation the opportunity to dream, imagine, create and network with other congregations who care about young adults.
Lisa Britton
A native of Philadelphia and a member of Saint Mark’s Church, I am a Lecturer of Foreign Languages at the University of Pennsylvania where I teach French language and Francophone culture through the art of storytelling. People are often surprised to find out that I was a gold-medalist in tap dancing. I’m excited about The Zoe Project because as a Generation X teacher of Generation Y students, I am eager to flip the classroom, so to speak, and have these sometimes mysterious young adults become my teacher!
