Meet Kristi!
Kristi Click is our new ministries coordinator. Her email is kristi@springbranchpres.org.
More about Kristi:
Kristi Click grew up in Dallas, TX. A lifelong member of NorthPark Presbyterian Church, Kristi grew up attending youth group and taking part in local and nation-wide mission trips. Unbeknownst to Kristi, these experiences would prove to be very influential in her call. It was also during this time that Kristi felt seminary was in her future.
Kristi also grew up attending Mo Ranch summer camp. When high school graduation rolled around and it came time to choose a University, her love of the Texas hill country took her to Schreiner University where she double majored in Psychology and Religion and was heavily involved in student government and Campus Ministry.
In the fall of 2009, Kristi began her studies at Austin Seminaryand during that time, she took a year off to serve a year in the highlands of Guatemala as a Young Adult Volunteer (a PCUSA program through Presbyterian World Mission).
As a result of her experiences as a Young Adult Volunteer, she discerned that she is called to community outreach and mission. And so, while in Guatemala, she applied to The University of Texas For a Masters of Science in Social Work. When she returned stateside in the fall of 2012, she began her studies there concurrently with her Divinity degree.
At Austin Seminary’s graduation this May, Kristi celebrated a centennial celebration- as her great-grandfather graduated from the exact same institution in 1914 prior to serving over 20 years as pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Lubbock. In addition, Kristi was surprised to be chosen by the Austin Seminary faculty to receive the Hendrick-Smith Award for Mission and Evangelism, an award given to a particular graduate whose life direction is focused on evangelism and mission in this country or overseas.
Kristi feels that her call is one which empowers a congregation to proclaim the Good News of Christ and equip the Church for concern and service to the life of the human community.
Kristi is thrilled to become a part of our family here at Spring Branch, and to witness to the ways in which the Spirit is moving among us!
