Kristin Eichenberger
Director of Children's Ministry
During her four years of membership here, she has not only felt a deep connection to the CCPC community, where she has served as a Deacon overseeing the Hospitalization and Illness Committee, but a growing sense of call to a ministry in Christian education. Kristin’s sense of call was a confirmed when she was invited to become the new Director of Children’s ministry.
Kristin’s responsibilities include overseeing a growing and dynamic education program for children. The launching of two Sunday morning programs, North Star Expedition – a rotational Sunday School model for 1st – 5th graders, and Children’s Chapel – offered at the 11:00 service for 3, 4 and 5 year olds, are two of the exciting new programs provided by Children’s Ministries.
Kristin and Jason have two children, Hannah, an eighth grader at Murphy Middle School and Caleb, a seventh grader also at Murphy Middle School. In her spare time she enjoys reading, baking, traveling and scrapbooking.
