While the UW Navs ministry focuses on student ownership and leadership, we have many staff that help out on campus by leading Bible studies, meeting new students, training in discipleship, planning events, sharing the gospel, and caring for those around them. Look for their faces while you’re on campus!

Tucker and Abbey Bennett

The Bennetts are entering their 10th year on staff with the Navigators. This year is their fifth year directing the ministry here at the University of Wyoming. They Love Laramie and wish they had been Cowboys! Pictured above is their daughter Sadie (6 years old), their son Calan (3.5 years old), and their daughter Emersyn (1.5 years old). They love meeting new people, sharing meals, playing games, and watching their kids grow up.

Erin Meloy

Erin is in her fourth year of staff with the Navigators (third year here at UW). She’s from Yakima, WA, attended Washington State University, and studied Elementary Education there. She loves being outside and particularly enjoys running, hiking, and going on walks. She also enjoys reading, card games, and any quality time with friends. Something that Erin is particularly passionate about in ministry is seeing others grow in depth and maturity in their walk with the Lord- so you know she is pumped for Bible studies and discipleship!
