STUDENT INTERNS

Matt Emerson

Matt was born and raised in Olney, MD and went to Messiah College. He is married to Cecilia and has four boys. After college, Matt served on staff with the Fellowship of Christian Athlete’s Lacrosse ministry in Baltimore, MD. From there, he participated in an internship at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC and then moved to Louisville, KY to pursue his M.Div at Southern Seminary. The Emersons moved to Charlottesville in the summer of 2021 and Matt is thrilled to be serving with Campus Outreach at UVA!

Jenny Meinderding

Jenny grew up in Severn, MD and attended Liberty University. As a student, the Lord used Campus Outreach to deepen her love for Christ and His people. After graduating in 2020, she came on staff with Campus Outreach and served at Liberty University for four years. She married Eric in the summer of 2024 (who also went to Liberty, worked for Campus Outreach and now is a UVA Law student). She is so excited to be in Charlottesville and serve at UVA!

Zach Morris

Zach is a fourth year at UVA and is majoring in aerospace engineering. He grew up in Fairfax, VA. His friends from home introduced him to Jefferson Park Baptist Church during his first year at UVA. Over the past couple years, the local church has had an amazing impact on Zach’s faith and walk with Christ. As an intern, he’s excited to see other college students share that same experience and grow in their faith. In his free time, Zach enjoys music, hiking and any competitive games, from basketball to dominoes!

Meredith Mosier

Meredith is a fourth year at UVA and is majoring in astronomy. She grew up in Southern VA and her family now lives in Midlothian. She was introduced to JPBC during the fall of her second year and was drawn to the warm church community and consistent preaching of God’s Word. She’s excited to intern because of the opportunity it will provide for her to rely on the Lord in her weakness and to welcome in students to a Christ-centered community. Meredith enjoys baking, playing volleyball, getting a sweet treat with friends.
