On this Valentine’s Day we would like to celebrate some of our Calvary Alumni who fell in love with other Calvary Alumni. We like to call them Knights in Love.
Ben and Kelsey MacMinn
Ben graduated in 2008, I graduated 2010. We started dating at Calvary in 2007. We both 
graduated with religion and philosophy undergrad degrees from LaGrange College. I just graduated with a masters of science in clinical mental health counseling from Columbus State University. Ben’s currently completing a masters of business in business leadership through Liberty University. I work full time as a communications coordinator for Media, Marketing and More as well as run my own part-time photography business – Kelsey MacMinn Photography. Ben is the operating partner for the brand new Chick-fil-a in Columbus Park Crossing. We are members of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. Since graduating Calvary we have traveled the world, gotten several degrees, got married in 2013 and had a beautiful 
little girl, River Anne, who is the light of our lives. We’re busy young professionals who feel passionate about our purpose in this world – to love others and build community. We are eternally grateful that Calvary brought us together and has given us the most epic high school sweetheart 10-year love story.
