Christian Challenge Director
Isaac Whitman
Isaac first got involved at Christian Challenge as a freshman in 2016. Isaac joined the leadership team and helped lead life groups and worship. Then, through serving and being discipled, God gave him a desire to make disciples rather than pursuing any other career. This led to him intern at Christian Challenge under Paul Damery from 2020-2024. In 2022 Isaac started working on a Masters of Divinity degree at MBTS. When Paul left in the summer of 2024, Isaac was called to serve full-time at Christian Challenge.
Isaac and Juliana got married in August of 2024. They met at church and really got to know each other when she started coming to Christian Challenge. The Whitmans love the outdoors and coffee, so they're excited to lead camping trips with the students.

Office Manager
Maddisyn McKern
Maddi has been involved with the SJBA in many capacities since she was a teen. From attending and serving at Grand Oaks, serving on youth mission trips, and being involved at Christian Challenge, the SJBA has played a huge role in Maddi's life. She's so excited for the opportunity to continue serving our partnering churches as the office manager for the SJBA.
