Ashley is a wife, mother, and the youth pastor here at Milledgeville FMC. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.S. in Education and uses her degree daily as she homeschools her children. Before joining the MFMC staff in 2019, Ashley was an online English teacher, administrator for Young Life, and a Children’s Pastor. She has spent the last 13 years involved in campus ministry through her years working at the UGA Wesley Foundation and now volunteering at the Georgia College Wesley Foundation. She has a heart for young people and longs to see them fall in love with Jesus and walk in His freedom.

Ashley and Tate have been married for ten years. Together, they have four beautiful daughters. Ashley loves healthy food, reading, planning parties, laughing with Tate, and all things chocolate. She’s passionate about family and is beyond grateful for these days of mothering her own children and all the young people the Lord keeps bringing into the Welling family.
