Caleb Gill

Campus Minister

Bread Oxford

Caleb graduated from GCSU in May 2021 with a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics and served as a leader at Kudzu - Caleb’s College Ministry. Afterwards he spent a year pursuing a deeper relationship with the Lord by continuing to serve at Kudzu. He was initially introduced to Bread when they came down to speak one night at Kudzu’s weekly event. Now he is excited to walk in faith alongside new faces and new friends.

When he’s not nerding-out over math, he’s probably nerding-out over the newest Marvel movie. He also enjoys reading, playing video games, and cooking.

David English

Campus Minister

Bread Kennesaw

David graduated from Georgia Tech in 2018 with a degree in Industrial Engineering. His college experience was profoundly impacted by his participation with Christian Campus Fellowship at Tech. He was so impacted that he decided to join the staff as a campus minister and work to create space for young people to experience community and the love of Jesus in a tangible way, just as he had.

Now David feels called to join the team of Bread campus ministers planting a new college ministry at Kennesaw State University. He is excited to take his wisdom and experience to a new campus that craves community and belonging. God has great things in store for the students of KSU, and Bread's model and mission of creating communities of students that impact their world with love as they become followers of Jesus are a perfect fit for David!

Grace “Cas” Rossi

Intern

Bread Emory

Grace “Cas” Rossi graduated in 2024 from Emory University with a major in Business and English — and she’s so excited to keep serving the Lord through her work at Bread! Originally hoping to work in publishing, she felt called to serve a higher purpose after graduation. Bread has been her home-away-from-home during college, and she’s been incredibly blessed to serve previously in student leadership roles. Now, she hopes to continue the mission of following Jesus’s word through action during her time as an intern. When she’s not talking Philippians and Isaiah (her favorite books in the Bible), she’s somewhere in the house reading, listening to Taylor Swift, or doing both.

Her nickname comes from her grandma (who she thinks was kind of the coolest person ever) and the fact that it gets confusing having so many Graces hanging around (even though she thinks its also one of the coolest names ever).

Christiaan Funkhouser

Campus Minister

Bread Emory

Christiaan has always loved exploring the truth. He was raised to question everything and honestly search for answers. He graduated with a degree in International Studies from SPSU and holds a Master of Divinity in Christian Education from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Paul’s interaction with the Stoics and Epicureans on Mars Hill inspired him to make honest conversations the foundation of his ministry style. He finds tremendous joy in walking alongside others on their journey of discovering the truth. Asking others questions, listening to their experiences, and loving without an agenda during and after their search for truth energizes him more than a cup of coffee.

Christiaan is especially thrilled for the opportunity to serve students at Bread Emory through his love of cooking, excitement for games of all sorts, and passion for storytelling. With everything going on in the world and life, students, now more than ever, need authentic community, a place to experience the love of Jesus, and the freedom to have honest conversations with someone who cares about them exactly where they’re at… but too much for them to stay there.
