The most central people in the Blue Ridge Fellows program are of course the Fellows themselves. If you are a recent college graduate walking with Christ and interested in joining a community of men and women to pursue a seamless faith, where Christ is Lord of every aspect of your heart please apply today.

Executive Directors: Tim & Kellie Henderson
Tim Henderson directs the Blue Ridge Fellows, assisted by his wife Kellie. Tim and Kellie graduated from James Madison University and were on staff with Cru for over 20 years. While with Cru, Tim and Kellie served the students at West Chester University and then Penn State. More recently, Tim served as Vice President with Christian Union, overseeing the amazing teams that lead CU's university ministries at Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale.
Tim and Kellie have spent their entire adulthoods preparing men and women in their early 20s to walk with God for a lifetime. They love the hundreds of (former) college students they've led to faith, discipled, taught, and learned from. Four children round out the Henderson clan: Benjamin, Silas, Max, and Sadie, two out of college, and two in college.
Director of engagement: cody buchan
Cody Buchan and his wife, Megan, joined the Blue Ridge Fellows team in 2024. Cody and Megan met at Virginia Tech, and after graduating, they spent seven years in Richmond, where Cody was on staff at Hope Church, helping to lead student ministry and later Hope’s outreach efforts. In 2016, Cody and Megan moved to Stellenbosch, South Africa, where they worked as program directors for an organization dedicated to developing leaders for global missional service.
While in South Africa, Cody and Megan developed a deep love and calling to disciple young men and women, especially around the dinner table, over a cup of coffee, or during walks in the woods! Cody and Megan have four amazing kiddos who keep them busy (and caffeinated): Quinn, Keller, Mia, and Peter.
