Skyela ‘Skye’ Bussey grew up in New York where she participated in as many theater opportunities the Salvation Army’s Eastern Territory could provide. She attended Asbury University where she was able to perform in films, on stage, and even a live-audience sitcom!

After she graduated college in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Intercultural Studies, she worked retail at Magic Kingdom, Disney World. It was during this college program that she realized her true joy and passion was rooted in ministry, specifically ministry through Creative Arts. Over the next few years she found herself moving from Florida to New York City to work for the Salvation Army, and then to Greensboro, North Carolina where she served at the CMA from 2020-2025.

Now, she is stepping into her new role as the Assistant Divisional Music & Arts Director - specializing in Theater. She is so happy to be in Georgia doing what she loves most: telling people about Jesus through Creative Arts!
