South End Women's ShepherdMegan Bates, South End Women’s Shepherd
Growing up on the coast of Maine, Megan is a proud New Englander at heart, but she moved to Charlotte in 2009 to attend Queens University and has called the city home ever since.
During college, Megan first heard the gospel through Young Life College, which sparked a deep love for ministry and led her to serve as a Young Life leader in the Charlotte area for the next 12 years. Through those Young Life relationships, she was introduced to Hope, where she experienced authentic Christian community in a transformative way.
Megan works as an operations manager and outside of work, she enjoys spending quality time with friends over a fun drink, getting lost in a good book, daydreaming of her next beach trip, and finding the next dance floor.
