Elise started following Jesus in High School, but her life was transformed at Penn State University when she joined a community that loved Jesus and devoted their lives to Him. She and her college sweetheart, Greg, married in the summer of 2007 and joined staff with Cru the following winter. Since then, Elise has served alongside Greg in many roles at both George Mason University and their alma mater. In December of 2020, Greg went home to be with Jesus. Elise continues to devote her life to following Jesus, advancing the great commission, and raising their son whom she adores. 

Elise serves on a team that equips and prepares new Cru missionaries to bring the gospel to students and faculty on college campuses in VA, MD, DE, NC, Washington, D.C. and beyond. She is passionate about developing missionary staff and sending them out to help students experience the love and grace of Jesus.

Stock Gifts – Avoid capital gains and give more.

Donor Advised Fund – Streamline your giving with tax efficiency.

IRA Giving (age 70½+) – Reduce taxable income while advancing the gospel.
