We are thrilled to do this meaningful work for First Baptist on Fifth, Winston-Salem!

We are overjoyed to announce our new communications team of Olena Withrow and Ryan Jones! These two will share the responsibilities for our church’s communications! 😃

Olena Withrow is no stranger to our church, having served since August of 2023 as our Ministry Assistant. Olena’s role will expand to Ministry Assistant & Communications Manager. She will be responsible for all our communications that are internally-facing, including our weekly and monthly newsletter, weekly worship guide announcements, weekly updates to the website, communications spaces around the building, and any print materials. You can reach her at [email protected].

Ryan Jones joined First on Fifth last year with his wife, Kelly and son, Felix. His role will be as our Media Contractor, and our church will be contracting with his mission focused company he runs called Do Good Brands. Ryan will be responsible for our communications that are more externally-facing, including all our social media management, content creation, Sunday worship livestreaming, video production, podcasting, website troubleshooting, and external marketing. You can reach him at [email protected].

Please pass along a hearty welcome and much gratitude to Olena and Ryan!
