Director of Assimilation
Kristen can generally be found in the main lobby on Sunday mornings, greeting newcomers and helping them find their way. As director of assimilation, her primary role is to come alongside those seeking to learn more about NPC, from their first visit through the membership tract; and helping attendees connect in gospel community, growth groups, ministry opportunities, organic ministry, ways to serve, and more.
Kristen has a passion for spritual formation and enjoys learning how God is working in the lives of those she meets. Behind the scenes, she works diligently faciliting newcomer opportunities and classes, equipping the welcome team, overseeing the church database and facilitating its processes, supporting the elders as they shepherd the flock, working with growth group leaders, and more.
Kristen is originally from North Carolina, is a graduate of Appalachian State University, and has a background in education. Her hobbies include enjoying a hot latte, crafting projects, camping, listening to audiobooks, and spending time with her family--including her two miniature schnauzers, Rogi and Porter.
Kristen is grateful for the privilege to work and worship in the church where she has been discipled by men and women who have helped her grow spritiually.
