Emmalee Scheid

DIRECTOR of COMMUNICATIONS & Events

I grew up in what I call a “little-big town” just south of Portland but Pullman has been my home for the last 7 years. When I came to college at WSU I joined a sorority, made friends, and from the outside was trying to look like I had it all together. In reality, I was struggling in school, homesick, family troubles, and overwhelmed with stress because of who I was trying to be. “Fake it till you make it” was the mentality and one that I had known my whole life, but in those low moments is when I met Jesus. My sorority sisters and girls in my dorm would continue to invite me into community but for a long time, I avoided it. Soon the gospel became so clear and undeniable. I began to embrace the unpredictable life that reminded me of why I needed a Savior. A life that sharpened me, community that cared for me, and a God who knew every part of me. 

My job has given me opportunities to be a part of God’s mission in so many different ways. From communication to story team, event planning, and being on the creative team I have learned so much! I have the amazing opportunity to highlight what God has done within the church, bring all of our sites together for the Resonate Conference, and proclaim through our communication platforms why we are passionate about college students knowing Jesus.  

Beginning to lead a team and cast vision towards what marketing could be for our church has challenged me and helped me to see the bigger vision of how the gospel is moving through Resonate Church. I am thankful to be joining in on what God is doing through our Network. I have recently moved to Spokane, WA to be a part of the new church plant and be on the frontlines of living on mission in a new place with new community. I’m humbled to be working alongside others as we continue to make the gospel known on college campuses and in cities in the PNW!

As a financial partner, monthly gifts allow me to press forward in communicating our vision and passions as a church to those who don’t know Jesus or others who want to get connected. Prayer and financial supporters are the backbone of what I do, and I seriously could not do it without them.
