We’re excited to announce that we have hired a new Caring Ministry Director! Kristen Folden is a recent new member of Summit Church, and she is excited to get started in this new role on our staff starting on March 10th. Kristen has served in many volunteer leadership roles within other churches, but this will be her first time being part of a church staff and she is truly feeling called into this ministry role.
Born and raised in sunny San Jose, California, Kristen moved to Durango in 2002 and has been happy to call it home and to build a life here. After a long career in teaching music, Kristen has sensed a growing desire to use her gifts and experiences in a brand new way. She is thrilled with her new role as Caring Ministry Director and looking forward to joining the community at Summit.
Kristen is a pianist and violist and loves performing locally with the San Juan Symphony. She can also be found painting, tending her garden, or enjoying a cappuccino with a friend. Kristen is mom to three almost-grown kids, Kacey, Libby and Johnny.
