Emma Cockley

WBL Interim Director

Though a native of the sprawling farmlands of rural Pennsylvania, Emma received a degree in Theology from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL. Emma delights in serving others, discussing theology and culture, reading classic fiction, and going on hikes with her husband and childhood sweetheart, Kurtz. The couple recently moved to Birmingham for Kurtz to pursue an M.Div at Beeson Divinity School.

Having served as the Assistant to the Director for a year and a half, Emma is now acting as WBL’s Interim Director. We are grateful for Emma’s willingness to serve in this capacity as we search for a new, full-time director.
