Elise Brandon

Director of Development

elise@chatthop.org

Elise is a Chattanooga native. This city has not only been her physical birthplace, but the grounds for her spiritual growth and development. While attending college at UTC, during a campus ministry worship meeting she clearly received a call from God to, “equip the saints, prepare for battle, this generation needs to be ready.” Her passion to live out that calling over the last 10 years has been by serving through college campus ministry and discipleship, she now seeks to see how God would have her answer that call through ChattHOP. When Elise isn’t in the office she is often discovering obscure Christian artists, spending time at local coffee shops, studying God’s word at a coffee shop, meeting friends at coffee shops, sliding down cardboard hill with her daughter near a coffee shop, and many other things by or near a coffee shop!

Makayla McKibben-Selby

Office Administrator

admin@chatthop.org

Makayla has a deep passion for worship and songwriting - especially in the context of the end of the age. Her and her husband, Shane, co-founded their personal ministry, Eleventh Hour Worship in 2015. Makayla also feels a John the Baptist calling on her life – a calling to prepare the way and the Body of Christ for the return of Jesus. She finds deep joy and purpose in community and discipleship. Makayla is currently a worship leader at her home church, and co-producer for Eleventh Hour Worship tunes as well as her solo music. When music isn’t consuming her time, you will find her adventuring outside, teaching end times prophecy, or spending time with family.
