Our Team
Brian Harris
Executive Director // Instructor
Known for his uncanny ability to make people cry, Brian is no stranger to anointed discipleship. He and his wife, Jenny, began leading the charge at AFBC in 2018. Since then, Brian's leadership has been marked by a relentless desire to be led by the Spirit of God and a sincere care for AFBC's staff. In addition to his administrative responsibilities- as if those weren't enough- Brian also puts his passion and Biblical knowledge to work as an instructor of four of our classes.
Jenny Harris
Executive Director // Instructor
Jenny is the sweet to Brian's salty and the jelly to his peanut butter. She is easy-going, fun-loving, and life-bringing. This is not to say that Jenny is all fun-and-games. On the contrary, she is involved in an assortment of work at AFBC including- but not limited to- guest hospitality, technology, campus events, and the teaching of two classes. While Jenny does her best not to take herself too seriously, it's clear that she does take seriously God's call to make disciples.
Darla Oakes
Executive Secretary // Instructor
As helpful as they come, Darla is quite literally a Godsend to our AFBC team. She is responsible for all things financial- bills, giving, book-keeping, pay-roll- you name it and it's Darla's "cup of tea." In her spare time (as if), she also manages to teach nearly the entirety of the Bible. Old Testament, Life of Christ, and Pauline Epistles are all under her instruction. In everything Darla does, her passion for Jesus is evident. There's no doubt, AFBC just wouldn't be the same place without her.

Michelle Cloninger
Head Chef // Missions Coordinator // Instructor
Ever wondered where to find the best food in the Four States? Stop by AFBC around noon on a weekday and your search will be over. Michelle Cloninger runs AFBC's kitchen like a 5-star restaurant-- only our kitchen is almost certainly cleaner. Excellence is Michelle's middle name. And though she has a lot on her plate- from teaching a class to being involved on our Missions team- everything Michelle does reflects a high standard of excellence and AFBC's core value: "Make it Better."

Kalee Smith
Women's Residence Director
If it happened at AFBC and it was creative or fun, Kalee was probably involved. Adventurous and free-spirited-- Kalee is always challenging our staff to let loose and dream. This approach to life carries over into all of her involvement at AFBC. As women's residence director, graphic designer, campus events team lead, and instructor of three classes-- Kalee is quite busy inspiring students and staff alike to aim higher and accomplish more.
