WHO WE ARE
Shannon Powell
Collegiate Director
Rev. Shannon K. Powell has over 25 years of ministry experience and has been faithfully serving the Fellowship of Christian Athletes throughout the Greater Charlotte Metro area since 2003. He and his wife, Miena, are both products of the ministry and are currently serving FCA through ministry at Wingate University in Wingate, NC.
Shannon is a native of Anderson, SC and an alum of Westside High School. Miena was born and raised in Albemarle, NC where she attended West Stanly High School. Shannon and Miena attended Mars Hill University (’99) where they met and became College Sweethearts. They were married after graduation (’99) and now have two remarkable children, Elijah and Preston whom they personally homeschool at their very own Etch Academy (est. 2012). The Powell’s also have a four-legged family member named Maximus (black lab) who serves as the Welcoming Committee (and occasional security detail).
In addition to pursuing her passions of both music and education, Miena loves serving alongside Shannon as the FCA Wingate University Administrative Assistant, and sharing the benefits of healthy living through her Simple Healthy Living 365 wellness coaching. Shannon enjoys preaching, speaking and teaching (literally around the world) as he shares the Gospel. He is also currently in the process of publishing his first book (Leadership Lab). As for the boys, you’ll most likely find them outdoors, on the playground fort, fishing, or otherwise engaged in the all-important task of saving the world….. The family makes their home in Monroe, NC
