Gabbi Couchey
administrative assistant
Gabbi is North Hills born and raised. She has attended 9 different schools in the Greenville area, including college at BJU, and continued adding to that list by teaching at 3 separate preschools. Gabbi had a pandemic wedding (Dec 2020) to Peter Couchey, the love of her life. They met through the College Ministry at NHC. An extrovert of extroverts, she will welcome anybody and their mom (and their pets into her community). She has served at ALIVE for 9 years and has a heart for 7th grade.

Tristen Thomas
Technical Assistant
Tristen was a part of North Hills for the first two years of her life before her parents left to plant another church. In one large circle, she began coming back via Alive during her 11th-grade year before completely returning to North Hills her first semester of college. Since then, her love for people has driven her to volunteer as much as possible (with plenty of time allotted to recharge her social battery, of course).

Corinne Dyer
Student leader coordinator
Corinne is a native New Englander (Go Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins!!) with an undergrad and master’s degree in theatre. During her years of teaching in local high schools, she has also been very active in the Worship Arts Ministry at North Hills, where she and her husband Andy have attended for the last 28 years along with their three children, Quinn, Keely and Ashton. She is thrilled that these two worlds of working with students and worship have beautifully collided in the position of Worship Coordinator for Alive. Corinne is an avid collector of all things associated with Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Our offering
ALIVE student ministry is excited to help financially support Trailside Church in Travelers Rest, SC by giving generously every Sunday. Sean Gajda and Tim Wadsworth grew up in the same youth group as kids in Simpsonville and it’s been amazing to see their partnership grow. God is doing huge things through Trailside Church and we are excited to play a small role in it. Our goal is to raise enough money to help Trailside purchase a children’s curriculum for their KidStuff. Please pray for this new church plant, that God would continue to grow it and draw more people unto Himself.

Spiritual Habits
Spiritual Habits is what we strive to focus on in ALIVE. We hope and pray that while our students are in ALIVE for their middle and high school years, these habits are deeply rooted in them so that they continue them on into college.
