Community Begins Third Year

This week three Columba House Residents, Gabriella Caballero, Emmy Baird, and Mark Mizelle begin their year of service (August to June). Columba House is an Episcopal intentional community where young people can explore spirituality through dialogue, prayer, and service to our neighbors.

Caballero is a returning Columba House Resident. Caballero graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville with a BS in Communication with a focus on Journalism and Electronic Media. Her freshman year, she was invited to film a service and dinner at Tyson House, the Episcopal-Lutheran campus ministry at UT. This experience led her to return to Tyson House, where she would become an Episcopalian and an active student leader. Last year, she interned with St. George’s, Savannah. She taken on a leadership role as a member of the Vocare Steering Committee for Vocare in Georgia that serves both the Diocese of Georgia and the Diocese of Atlanta. (Pictured above are Columba House Missioners Guillermo Arboleda and Kelly Steele with Gabriella as the three visited a Diocese of Tennessee ministry while en route to the General Convention this summer)

Mark is starting his 2nd year at the STEM Academy @ Bartlett where he teaches Geographic Information Systems. It was during a visit to St. Paul’s, Savannah in October 2014 (and through God’s unending grace) that Mark decided to become “Protestant, yet Catholic” and joined the very church where his father was raised. Mark is an avid runner and feels called to work closely with young minds in the local community. He hopes to deepen/enhance his faith by “living in community” with others who feel called to serve God and his children.

The current residents are part-time Fellows who work or study full-time, live in intentional community at Columba House, and engage the young adult community in Savannah.

Columba House Savannah is now in its third year. This intentional community is one of the strategies of the Campaign for Congregational Development designed to foster youth and young adult leadership. A location for Columba House Augusta has been secured and interviews are underway for a missioner for that house, which will begin serving as a hub for young adult ministry in that city.
