ADVISORY COUNCIL
ANDREW HUDGINS
Born and raised in Virginia, Andrew has quickly come to love calling North Carolina home. Prior to moving to Raleigh, he graduated from James Madison University with a degree in social work. He continued his studies at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C. while also serving as an associate pastor of a growing northern Virginia church. It was during that time that he and his wife Kelly felt called to a year of full-time volunteer service, which they completed together in 2015-16 in Houston, Texas. The experience had a tremendous impact on their lives, and Andrew loves having the opportunity to journey with Johnson Service Corps members during their own years of service.
