MELISSA MERTA
COMMUNICATIONS Coordinator
Melissa is a wife to Matt and mom to Nathan. She is passionate about the power of stories, capturing moments in both words and photos. Additionally, she has a heart for discipleship, working in the past with youth and now focusing on mentoring young women.
Born in northern California, Melissa’s family moved to Military City, San Antonio, where she met her now-husband, Matt. She attended Texas A&M University to pursue her Bachelor’s in Telecommunication and discovered her passion for students while volunteering as a youth sponsor. Later, Melissa was hired to lead the high school girls’ youth ministry, college, and young adults programs. After four years of working full-time in youth ministry, Melissa felt called to work in the school systems and spent the next six years working in Title I high schools as both a teacher and administrator.
Melissa joins the Seven Mile Road staff excited to utilize her gifts of communication and organization. She looks forward to partnering with our team as we dream of our future youth ministry and investing in the lives of young women in our community. Melissa can be found caring for Nathan, walking their corgi, Penny, trying out a new coffee shop with Matt, or reading a good book.
