Christy Bicknell

Director of Women’s Ministry | Communications

Christy joined the staff of First Evan in January 2023. Christy was a member of First Evan in the 90s before moving to Dallas, TX for seminary. She is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and Rhodes College. Christy has a passion to see lives transformed through discipleship, community, and the personal study of Scripture; and by Christ-like care for others across the street and around our city and world. Through personal experience, she understands the fight for joy within the suffering of both the unexpected and the every day, and the need for a strong community that challenges and encourages us to be steadfast in our faith.

Christy grew up in Cabot, Arkansas and her ministry career began during college with a SPOTS summer placement and summers at Kids Across America. She has served at Christ United Methodist Church (Memphis, TN) as Urban Missions Coordinator, Northwest Bible Church (Dallas, TX) as Assistant Minister to Singles and Minister of Local Outreach, and Christ City Church (Memphis, TN). Christy has also spent significant time working in the legal marketing, non-profit, and higher education industries, and most recently as a Senior Strategist at a local marketing and communications firm. 

Christy and her husband Curt have one daughter.
