KEVIN & KIM MACFEE

Kevin & Kim pioneered Chi Alpha @ Embry-Riddle in 1997.  Their kids are all grown now > Elle & Nate live in Prescott > Broc & Haven live in Searcy, Arkansas > and Rye goes to school at Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri. They look for every opportunity to hang out with their kids > nothing encourages them more.

Though they’re ‘the old guys’ now > they love the craziness that comes with serving university students more than ever. On Tuesday nights students smash into their house for a home-cooked meal, lots of laughter & heart-felt stories of faith from their friends.

Kevin & Kim met in Minneapolis while going to school (Kevin>Pastoral Studies, Kim>Elementary Ed) where they had a ridiculously good college experience (one of the reasons they're so stoked to help you find a remarkable story while in Prescott)

Kim grew up in Payson, Arizona, riding quads & water skiing @ Roosevelt Lake.

Kevin grew up in Bay Village, Ohio & loves the opportunities we get to explore beautiful places across the southwest.

MATT & MAUREEN SIMPSON

Matt & Maureen have served @ Embry-Riddle for 12 years. They have 4 kids: Olivia (14), Eli (13), Amaiya (10), & Isaac (7). Like most families, they spend a lot of their time racing between dance rehearsals, hockey practice, school & church. They lead worship on Friday nights @ Elevate & spend time mentoring students.

Matt & Maureen met in Springfield, Missouri, while attending Evangel University (Matt> History, Maureen> Psychology) where they still have a lot of friends & a ton of great memories.

Matt grew up in North Irwin, PA, & is a huge Pittsburgh sports fan. Zion National park is his happy place and loves canyoneering.

Maureen grew up as a military brat and claims the St. Louis area as "home". She loves creative arts, hiking, and spending time with friends.

NATE & ELLE BRAWNER

Elle grew up in Prescott & started attending Chi Alpha when she was 4! (She’s Kevin & Kim’s daughter). She grew up watching students make honest attempts at loving God & one another.

As a student at Embry Riddle (2020 AE Grad), Nate found Chi Alpha & wasted no time diving into close friendships & unforgettable adventures.

Nate & Elle met while Nate was serving on leadership & Elle was back from college serving on staff. They got married, moved to Iowa for Nate’s job, & now are back in Prescott serving on staff.

They both mentor students, Elle is a part of the worship team, & Nate runs the guys group (dude group). In 2023 they had their first baby, Stella. They love how Stella gets to know so many amazing students.

They spend their free time finding new things to explore in the beautiful southwest.
