Our Team
DIRECTOR OF MISSION ADVANCEMENT
Sydney Dunn
Sydney is an Atlanta native who was introduced to Youth for Christ when she lived in South Florida over a decade ago. It was there that she fell in love with student ministry and building impactful relationships. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, reading, adventure, and anything involving animals. She and her husband have three dogs and are devoted Atlanta Braves fans (Go Braves!).
Mike McAuliff
Youth for Christ has been a part of Mike’s story for more than half of his life. He has served in a variety of roles with YFC since 2002. In his downtime, you can find Mike at home, spending time with his girls: wife Emily and daughters Ella and Ada. He enjoys books made with paper and playing any sport that involves a ball. He also has a love-hate relationship with Keto, a mild Pepsi addiction (when he’s off Keto), and an affinity for the Florida State Seminoles and Tottenham Hotspurs.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Brian Pettigrew
Originally from Dallas, Texas, Brian transplanted to Atlanta after marrying his wife, Megan. They have four beautiful kids: Mitchell, Maggie, Mattison, and Mia. He has a passion for reaching the next generation, leading them to follow Jesus and grow in discipleship. He loves football, especially the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. He is a sports facts guru and often uses this gift to connect with other sports fans. In his spare time, Brian loves to draw, listen to music (while playing the drummer’s role), and spend time with friends and family.
