Annalisa “Preacher Girl” Herring

Annalisa Herring is a high school senior with big dreams and an even bigger faith. She’s counting down the days until graduation so she can head to Emmanuel University this fall, where she’ll pursue a degree in Christian ministries. Passionate about her generation and God’s call to evangelism, Annalisa has embraced her mission to inspire others to live boldly and fearlessly for Jesus. Whether she’s sharing the Gospel with her peers or preaching to fellow youth, Annalisa is all-in when it comes to being a light in her community and beyond.

Her favorite place to serve? Upstreet Sidewalk Sunday School! From the moment the kids see her pull up, the excitement is contagious. Annalisa’s joy shines brightest when she’s sharing God’s love with the kids and watching them build a relationship with Jesus.

When she’s not busy serving or sipping on coffee (her fuel of choice), you’ll find Annalisa rocking her favorite sneakers. A self-proclaimed sneakerhead, she’s always on the lookout for the next addition to her collection—because why not spread the Gospel in style? Her favorite candy is plain M&Ms (because classics never go out of style), and her life verse, Psalm 73:26, keeps her anchored in God’s strength and faithfulness.

Annalisa loves being part of the Upstreet team, where every week fuels her passion for sharing God’s love in tangible, life-changing ways. Whether she’s encouraging kids, serving behind the scenes, or bringing energy to the sidewalk, Annalisa knows she’s part of something bigger—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
