Everyone meet Kat, CICs new Director of Children’s Ministry and a staple in our women’s group.
Kat has been coming to CIC for six years. What initially brought her through the doors was her desire to support her brother while he was in the program—a program that, by God’s grace, helped save his life.
But what started as an act of support quickly became something much more meaningful for Kat. She found a place where she could see God moving, experience fellowship like she had never experienced before, and serve the Lord. Most importantly, she found biblical truth being preached and a community she could call home.
Kat met the Lord for the first time when she was 40 years old, and since then, her faith has continued to shape the way she lives and serves. Her favorite way to serve at church is by pouring into children and women—loving, encouraging, and helping others grow in their faith.
If Kat could give one piece of advice to someone new to CIC, it would be simple: “CIC is a safe place to lay at His feet. You are welcomed and loved. Keep coming back!”
Her favorite story from the Bible is the story of the Prodigal Son, a story that beautifully reflects God’s heart for His children and His willingness to welcome us home.
The Bible verse Kat lives by is Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
If she could meet anyone in Heaven besides Jesus, Kat would choose the Apostle Paul. She admires his testimony and dedication to the Kingdom, seeing his life as a picture of how God can and will use any one of us through His grace and mercy, when we respond with faith and obedience.
And if Kat could ask the Lord one question and receive an immediate answer, she knows exactly what she would ask:
“How long will it be before You come to take us home?”
Kat’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes God brings us somewhere for one reason, only to reveal that He has something much greater waiting for us. What began as a journey to support her brother became a place where Kat found fellowship, purpose, service, truth, and ultimately, home.
