Kristen can most likely be found climbing on a rock, hammocking in the trees or skiing down a mountain. Growing up in the Northwest, she not only loves being outdoors but also playing music like cello duets with her sister or guitar with a group of friends. Big Lake has been her home for many summers where she leads RAD camps. She was involved in Pathfinders for eight years, and it was here that she found her passion for ministry, leading people into closer relationship with Jesus and others. Kristen finished her Theology and Business degrees at Walla Walla University in June 2024 and spent the summer at Big Lake as one of the RAD Counselors.  She has joined our Meadow Glade Pastoral Team as of September 2024 as the Youth Pastor.
