Elise Brandon
Director of Development
elise@chatthop.org
Elise is a Chattanooga native. This city has not only been her physical birthplace, but the grounds for her spiritual growth and development. While attending college at UTC, during a campus ministry worship meeting she clearly received a call from God to, “equip the saints, prepare for battle, this generation needs to be ready.” Her passion to live out that calling over the last 10 years has been by serving through college campus ministry and discipleship, she now seeks to see how God would have her answer that call through ChattHOP. When Elise isn’t in the office she is often discovering obscure Christian artists, spending time at local coffee shops, studying God’s word at a coffee shop, meeting friends at coffee shops, sliding down cardboard hill with her daughter near a coffee shop, and many other things by or near a coffee shop!
