Ryan is known as "The Experience" and if you have met him, you'd know why!  He leads the music on Sunday mornings during the Contemporary Worship Service and on Sunday nights the Youth.  He is also the Middle School Youth guy.  For fun he likes to stay up all night playing Xbox and sleep throughout the day!

Nicole Elsey leads our children and youth in the handbell ministry.  She is a long-time member of MPUMC, as are her parents, Pat and Pam Buttram.  She is a graduate of Shiloh High, Oxford College and Emory University, where she majored in music.  She lives in Stone Mountain with her husband, Tony, who is a general contractor.  Nicole enjoys singing, composing and teaching music.  Nicole feels that music is a way for a lot of children and youth to find a place in ministry.  Playing handbells provides a fun way to lead worship for those that might not want to speak or sing a solo in a service.
