Ella Austin

Hi! My name is Ella! I am a junior pursuing a degree in Dietetics at UCA. I am a full extrovert who loves having a quiet moment to read a book. A few of my favorite things include time period dramas, reading, sports, the movie Return to Me, and trying new foods. Having a service-oriented heart, I gravitate towards others and enjoy getting to know what makes you who God divinely made you to be. I deeply love everyone I interact with and would love even more to meet you! This will be my second year leading a small group.

I joined CCM at the beginning of my first year of college, wanting something to keep me accountable to my faith. I quickly got plugged into a small group and have now made my way to being a small group leader. Our small group is filled with friends who offer endless encouragement and support, no matter the situation. We love having deep conversations and finding God in even the smallest aspects of life. Hikes and the outdoors are our places of peace, and I know more adventures are in store. This small group has been my safe place in the middle of the difficulties of college and young adult life, grief, and stress. I hope you find your safe place within CCM and know that a listening ear is always within reach. I can't wait to get to know you more and see where this year takes us!
