Meet our new teacher! We are very excited to have Karissa Holdcroft join our ministry team:
Hello! My name is Karissa Holdcroft. I was born and raised in Greenville, Wisconsin. I am the youngest of three sisters, one of whom teaches at Divine Savior Academy in Liberty Hill, Texas. After graduating from Fox Valley Lutheran High School, I decided to pursue a degree in Elementary Education at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. I have wanted to be a teacher from a young age, and my passion for serving others and sharing Jesus’ love has only continued to grow since then. While attending MLC, I had the opportunity to play both soccer and basketball, which taught me the value of teamwork, dedication, and building relationships. I am also excited to be getting married to my fiancé, Malachi Neumann, in the summer of 2027. We are looking forward to this new chapter and all the blessings God has in store for us. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, exploring new places, and meeting new people. I am incredibly excited to become part of the Abiding Word family, get to know the community, and serve alongside everyone this upcoming school year!
