Staff
The staff at MCF/First Presbyterian's College Ministry are committed to reaching students for Christ and equipping them to serve. The staff members are David Felker and Sam Taaffe.
David
was born in Tuscaloosa, AL, graduated high school in Fayetteville, AR,
and graduated from Mississippi State University. Spending time in these
college towns helped feed his unhealthy obsession with SEC sports,
particularly football. He is now in his third year at Reformed
Theological Seminary and his third year working with college students
at Millsaps and First Pres. In the summer of 2010, David outkicked his
coverage and married Lauren Babbitt. Lauren is from Boulder, CO, she
graduated college from Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth, and she
worked as an intern with Reformed University Fellowship at Ole Miss for
three years. David
and
Lauren are loving married life and they live in the Belhaven
neighborhood - across the street from
Millsaps and a 100 yards from First Pres. - and they love having
college students over to play wii, Settlers of Catan, baggo, ping-pong
or watch college football, 30 Rock, and LOST. That said, please don't hesitate to contact with any questions or concerns - 601-850-8650 or dlfelker@gmail.com
Sam moved to Jackson from Oxford, MS, where he worked for two years as an intern with RUF at Ole Miss. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, and moved to the states with his family when he was four. Upon graduating from Brentwood High School (Just south of Nashville, TN), he attended the University of Georgia and graduated with degrees in History and Business. Sam is beginning his second year at Reformed Theological Seminary. His hobbies include reading, prank calls, soccer, settlers of catan, lat pulldowns and losing to Felker at ping pong.
