CHIC Chair: Ben Pease
Originally from Massachusetts, I served as a youth pastor there for 6 years before serving at Salem Covenant Church in MN for the past 8 years. I love adventures with my wife and three kids, working with students (especially in leadership development), and getting outside for hiking, running, backpacking, and canoeing. I am excited and honored to serve on the CHIC Council because time and time again, I have seen students experience God and make decisions at CHIC in ways that have changed the course of their lives.
Enrichment Services: Leader, Sally Carlson
Hi, I’m Sally Carlson and I love traveling, playing volleyball, laughing (seriously!), and most of all – being with people (with coffee!). I love CHIC and am really excited be a part of CHIC2015! My life was transformed when I attended CHIC as a student and I have seen God at work in the lives of so many people through this amazing event. I am so excited to see what God has in store for us at CHIC2015!

Evening Worship/Mainstage: Leader, Angie Wysocki
I live in Atlanta, GA where I am a program manager / event producer with Brand Apart. I love watching events come to life and have enjoyed being involved in CHIC2009 and CHIC2012. I’ve had the chance to be on some amazing teams all the way from Bayside Covenant Church, North Park University, Covenant Bible College, and a short time as a gift wrapper. You should know that good coffee is a nonnegotiable for me, I love cooking a great meal, I am a concert junkie, I need to see the ocean every few months, and I can’t avoid Nordstrom. Most importantly though I am constantly amazed and thankful for how God continues to stretch and grow me. Looking forward to CHIC2015 and seeing what God has in store!

Leader Experiences: Leader, Ben Kerns
Ben Kerns is the Pastor of Children and Students at Marin Covenant Church. He has been in vocational student ministry for the past 15+ years and still loves Jesus, students, and the church. He has been married to his college sweetie for 15 years and has two kids. He writes on his blog averageyouthministry.com as well as contributes for a couple other sites. For fun Ben loves to read, write, hike, run, bike, and hot dates with the wife. Backpacking through the Sierras for weeks at a time would be the perfect vacation. A fun fact about Ben, he invited Bon Jovi to his wedding. (He didn’t even RSVP)
