MS D-Group Leaders

Every Sunday, as part of our youth group at The Edge, we break up into small discipleship groups we call "D-groups." These groups are where we get to dive deep into faith discussions & teachings. Get to know our awesome D-group leaders below.

MELISSA BARNABO

8th Grade Girls

I have been attending DUMC since 2006 alongside my husband Richard, my daughter Elle (9th grade) and my son Tyler (4th grade.) I love our church community, and it has been such a blessing to watch the church grow, and thrive over the last 13 years! The Holy Spirit has been tugging on me for a few years to get involved in youth discipleship. I helped serve dinners Sunday nights at the Edge for three years. I watched in awe, as I experienced the magic that is… The Edge! I had my first real experience with youth discipleship at SOS in Memphis this past summer. After a week long mission trip with 50 high schoolers from DUMC, I knew that I needed to jump in with both feet!! This coming year, I will be of co-leading the 8th grade girls along with Amanda Osolu. I truly can’t wait to spend time with these amazing young women to see how the Lord is working in, and through all of us!!

GABE KUKUK

8th Grade Guys

I have been attending DUMC since 2012 and a D-Group leader since 2014. I love being involved with the youth, building relationships and just hanging with the kids (and sometimes acting like one too). My wife and I moved up from Ohio at the beginning of 2012. I work at Toyota Technical Center in Saline. I enjoy spending time with my wife & son, playing sports and watching movies.
