Amanda Strickland
Amanda has been part of Open Arms Community Fellowship since day one and is known as the “Great Communicator.” If something’s happening from events, Bible studies, or worship gatherings…she’s often the one helping make sure everyone knows where to be and when to be there. With a heart for connection and a love for community, Amanda enjoys bringing people together and is grateful to be part of the fellowship’s journey from the very beginning.
Amanda is part of the Core Team simply because she wants to be obedient to where God is leading her, her family and our fellowship and to serve however she can. She believes in what God is doing through OACF and is thankful to be included in something that is still growing and being shaped. Her heart is to help create a space where people feel welcomed, connected, and free to come as they are.

Amelia Vann
Hi! My name is Amelia Vann, and I am the Media Coordinator for Open Arms Community Fellowship! As a young Christian, I know how important it is to have a supportive environment that fosters a connection with Christ. That is why I am a part of OACF’s core team. I want to show other young members of society how important a relationship with Christ is in a way that is inviting and judgement-free. This organization provides a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment that allows me to share that desire of spreading the gospel.
Chris Vann
Chris serves on the Core Leadership Team of Open Arms Community Fellowship and cares deeply about creating a space where people can grow in their faith and feel genuinely welcomed. He believes the Fellowship is more than a place, it is people. The ekklesia is not about walls or buildings, but about lives connected and growing together. He is passionate about discipleship and enjoys walking alongside others as they figure out what faith looks like in everyday life. A guiding verse for Chris is Ephesians 2:10, the reminder that each person is created on purpose, for a purpose, and he enjoys helping others discover and live that out. Chris helps guide the Fellowship with a focus on Scripture, grace, and honest conversation. He values authenticity and believes growth often happens in simple, consistent steps over time. At the end of the day, he wants to love people well, lead faithfully, and point others to Jesus Christ.
