Reverend Meredith Hinton is an ordained Deacon with approximately 15 years of experience serving youth and families. Meredith has held positions in youth ministry all across the Western North Carolina Conference. In 2014, she served 10 small rural churches in Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey Counties to form one youth ministry. After her time in the mountains, she moved to Charlotte, taking a position at Weddington United Methodist Church as the Youth Minister. 

Meredith is married to the Reverend Brad Hinton, and they have one son, Seth. 

Meredith is passionate about walking alongside entire families on their faith journey. She is particularly interested in equipping families to make talking about faith and asking questions a regular part of their daily lives- not simply bound to Sunday School and Sunday Worship hours. 

Meredith grew up in Winston-Salem and has a bachelor’s degree in religious studies from UNC Charlotte and a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University. Additionally, Meredith is a Level 1 and Level 2 Youth Ministry Coaching Program graduate. 

Meredith enjoys adventures with Seth and Brad in her spare time, being outside, and fitness. She also holds certification as a personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
