Mari Wiles Minister to the University (252) 398-6268 wilesm@chowan.edu B.A. Psychology, Mars Hill College, Mars Hill, NC M. Div. Theology, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC |
Moving my life to serve at Chowan University has been a grand adventure. I have lived in a lot of places but this is my first small town experience. I am enjoying exploring Northeastern NC.
"I believe it is important to have places and spaces of Grace on a University campus. It is my prayer that the pastoral leadership of the Campus Ministry team can offer safe places for individuals to know God, serve God and share God. We have Faith in our Future because we know God holds our future."

Craig Janney Associate Minister to the University (252) 398-6340 jannec@chowan.edu B.A. Religion, Chowan University 2004 M.Div. Pastoral Studies, Gardner-Webb University |
I am a Vinton, Virginia native and proud alum of Chowan University! While at Chowan, I served as an Ambassador and Leadership Scholar. I was also a four-year Football letterman and two-year captain, and still hold football records at CU. My wife, Jennifer, and I were called back to Chowan to serve as the Associate Ministers. I mentor students, serve as chaplain to the men's sports teams, and oversee the Fellowship of Christian Athletes huddle at CU. I also preach and lead worship for local churches and youth groups.
"Chowan University holds an indelible place in my heart. I consider it a great privilege to pastor, teach, counsel, serve, and love the Chowan University community –students, faculty, and staff alike! Indeed, Chowan University is my parish."

Jennifer Janney Associate Minister to the University (252) 398-6383 jannej@chowan.edu B.A. Religion, Chowan University 2004 M.Div. Pastoral Studies, Gardner-Webb University |
I graduated from Chowan in 2004 with a B.A. in Religion, and went on to Gardner-Webb University to receive my Master of Divinity in 2007. I am back on staff at Chowan as the Associate Minister to the University as a pastor to students, faculty, and staff. My burden is to bring a bolder face of Christ to our campus.
"Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you to help serve you! I am the advisor for the Christian Student Union, which meets on Thursday evenings at 6:30 for worship and Bible study in the Synago Room of the Hawks Nest. Come join us for a wonderful time in the Lord!"
