Kathy is passionate about her calling from God to increase the level of authentic relationships and relevant teaching in the Church today. Her goal is to be an amazing disciple, wife to Ben, mom, friend, follower & leader. She currently pastors Crossroads Christian Center in San Bruno CA, and thanks the Father daily for moving this East-Coast girl from Appalachia to California.
First called into vocational ministry at the age of eleven at a church kids camp, Kathy is a fourth generation minister. Following in this heritage of faith, she enjoys every step of this adventurous path with twists, turns, joy and responsibility of preaching the Word, building leaders and releasing them into ministry, and making a difference for the Kingdom of God.
Ben and Kathy met at Evangel University and were one of those annoying dorm lobby couples who were too poor to go on a date. In 2002 the plan became, “Graduate, Get Married, Move to a Coast.” Two of the three happened right away, and three years later they made it to the West Coast. In 2010 they became parents through the “zero to chaos” method of adoption. Two years later in fall of 2012, two more kids joined to the previous three. Yes, that’s a grand total (and FINAL total) of five uh-mazing kids who are going to make the best grown-ups the world has ever seen.
