Caleb Bish - Converge Co-Leader
Originally hailing from the okay state of PA, I grew up in a tiny town called Meadville, participating in many clubs and sports such as German club, National Honor Society, and football. I got my 4 year degree from the illustrious Grove City College, majoring in Exercise Science with a Health Occupation concentration. I started my teaching career at a private school teaching third graders, and eventually moved on to my current position, teaching 8th grade science at Floyd T. Binns Middle School. I am passionate about teens, school, sports, and faith, and very much appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the lives of youth through Culpeper Baptist Church.
