Speakers

Zeke Yost ‘23, Coordinator of College Ministry at Canton First Friends Church

Zeke played on the Malone men’s basketball team, served as intramural director on Student Senate, and was actively involved in student activities during his time as a student. His passion to see young people grow in their relationship with the Lord led him to serve at The Well while he was still a college student. 

Adrianne Nolan '17, Pastor of Youth Discipleship at North Olmsted Friends Church

Adrianne began serving at North Olmsted Friends shortly after graduating from Malone with a Bachelor of Arts in Youth Ministry and Bible & Theology. From the age of 16, Adrianne knew that working with teens in the church was where God was calling her. She is passionate about empowering young people to seek and know the Lord because of the Lord's call on her life as a teen. 
 
Outside of ministry, she is a music enthusiast. Though she admits musical talents are not where her gifts lie, she does enjoy playing the guitar, violin, and ukulele. Additionally, she loves to read theology books and ride roller coasters, though likely not at the same time.

David Williams ‘84, Professor of Practical Ministry at Malone 

Dave studied sociology and Christian ministries while he was at Malone and he now has nearly 40 years of ministry experience and more than 20 years of classroom experience under his belt.

He met his wife Carol at Malone and they both sensed clear callings to ministry while they were still college students. And Dave’s roots run deep at Malone, not only as an alumnus, but also as the great-grandson of the University’s founders, Walter and Emma Malone.

He considers it a high and holy privilege to follow in their footsteps as a teacher, mentor, and sacred companion for a new generation of Christian leaders.
