Chantelle Foster

Welcoming guests to Acts 2 has been a passion of Chantelle’s since 1999 when she and Mark moved to Edmond, OK, to start a new United Methodist Church. Chantelle served in an unofficial staff capacity for the first 13 years, assisting in many different areas of church life. She became an official part of the Acts 2 staff in February 2012.

Chantelle grew up in Tulsa, OK, and graduated from Jenks High School. She met Mark in 1987 as a freshman at Oklahoma State University. After completing a degree in Business Management in 1991, Chantelle married Mark – who was, at the time, a television news reporter. Mark’s call to ministry came in their second year of marriage, and Chantelle quickly learned what it was to be “the preacher’s wife.” Her passion for the church and her love for people help her to navigate this role seamlessly. Chantelle fell in love with the local church in 1991 when she began working on staff at their local UMC in Charlotte, NC. This was her first real job out of college and the beginning of her call to full-time ministry.

Chantelle and Mark have two grown sons, John Mark and Noah, and a two friendly standard poodles, Gracie & Goose. Chantelle is also an avid reader, loves to garden, bake, and travel in the Caribbean.
