Our Team
Ava Henson - Founder/Admin/Creative Content Producer
Meet Ava! Ava graduated from Taylor University in 2024 with a degree in Sport Management and just recently graduated again with an M.A. in Leadership. She lives in Westfield, IN where she grew up and attended high school there. She spent all five years in college playing on the women’s basketball team, but has a passion for all things sports and outdoors. She currently runs her own small media business doing sports media and wedding videography primarily while working part-time as a basketball assistant coach. She is looking to combine her passions with her passion for youth/young-adult ministry in the future. She currently attends Heart & Soul church in Fishers.
She created this group after feeling a longing in her heart to find a community of young adults her age who share in their faith and is excited to see what God has in store for IYA.
Hannah Ruddle - Worship Leader
Meet Hannah! Hannah is a senior psychology student and basketball player at Bethel University. She is from Whiteland, Indiana, and has always had a passion for worship. Some of her favorite things are music, hiking, and anything to do with the outdoors. One verse that keeps her grounded is John 3:30: “He must become greater; I must become less.”
Hannah has been blessed with incredible voice and musical talent, and we are honored to have her help leading worship with us this Summer.
Seth Griswold - Admin & Outreach Team
Meet Seth! Seth recently graduated from Taylor University in May 2025 with a M.A. in Leadership. He enjoys worshipping with others, playing any sort of game with a ball outside, and eating ice cream. He is excited to spend time with you all so soon!
Seth has played a crucial role in the development of Indy Young Adults as well as in the process of outreach. While we are sad he will be moving back home to Dayton, Ohio at the end of Summer, we are blessed to still have him supporting us from afar.
