Alia will serve as a campus minister at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va., with Every Nation Campus ministry, a partnership of Divine Unity Community Church (DUCC) and VMMissions.

Alia has been involved at DUCC since her first year at James Madison University where she graduated this spring. She discovered the church through a notice about ENC while searching for options for a church family on JMU’s website. Alia is grateful for the signposts of God’s work in her life, even before she understood how that was happening.

Young Life groups played an important role in her faith formation in high school, and mentors created space for her to encounter God in new ways. At JMU, Alia has taken steps of obedience in her faith, inviting others into Christian community. She is energized by walking with others as they grow as disciples of Jesus.
