Pastor Kara

Pastor Kara joined us as pastor in July of 2023. Kara’s first memory of being called to Ordained ministry is telling her childhood pastor, Pastor Rick in the narthex that when she grew up she was going to be a pastor just like him. Since being ordained in 2011 she has served in Illinois, Arkansas and Michigan. Pastor Kara has been married to her partner Travis since 2008 and they have two elementary school aged daughters. As self-described Disneyphile, Pastor Kara’s most famous original quote is also the mission statement of her ministry, “If Jesus lives in our heart and Figment lives in our imagination do you think they ever get together and play?” Kara’s mission in life is to help others love Jesus with Grace, Faith, and Pixie Dust.

Office Administrator Chris

Chris has been our office administrator since 2022 and treasurer since 2021. Chris has worked in many office admin jobs throughout her career. When not counting the church’s beans or keeping our day-to-day tasks in order, Chris reads and knits. By helping the congregation’s ministries run smoothly Chris is able to enjoy her faith and celebrate with the ministries of the congregation.

Janitor Billie Jo

Billie Jo our janitor is our newest teammate here at Trinity. She makes sure we live into the idea that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” She says she loves cleaning because it gives her time to think, reflect, let go, and refocus– sounds a lot like worship and faith life. Billie Jo likes to listen to faith-filled music that reminds her how much she needs God in her life while she cleans. When Billie Jo isn’t cleaning, she enjoys bowling with her son and friends, camping, and family, including her dog, who keep her active and playful.

Keyboardist Paul

Paul is our keyboardist and has been with us the longest. He uses his God-given musical abilities to help us worship more fully.
