Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Karen Kress, our 5th–8th grade Math and English teacher here at BHCA.
When she’s not in the classroom, Karen loves staying active and exploring the world. An avid volleyball player, she also has a passion for travel. “One of my favorite countries I’ve visited is Thailand,” she shares.
A verse that continues to hold deep meaning in Karen’s life is her confirmation verse, Isaiah 53:5,
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
She reflects, “It might seem like a harsh verse at first, but the perspective it gives on the incredible love Christ has for us—and the sacrifice He made—is truly life-changing.”
