Pastor Hanna has been faithfully serving us for the past three years.  We are so fortunate that she was called to be pastor at our church.  She brings us many new ideas and a renewed energy we are blessed to have in our church.

 

 

Charlotte has been with us for about two years now.  She puts in a lot of hard work to ensure we have a weekly bulletin and a monthly newsletter, as well as a dozen other tasks that help to keep our church running smoothly. 

 

 

 Colette has been our organist for many years.  She accompanies the Choir in all of their Anthems and provides us with Harp solos throughout the year as well.  Sunday mornings would not be the same without the lovely music coming from the organ.

 

 

 

 

 

  Deborah just recently took on the position of Choir Director at Kelso First Pres.  We have been without a director for a little over a year, with Pastor Hanna leading the choir in her spare time.  We are extremely grateful to have Deborah leading the music in our worship services.

 

 

  Fabian has been playing guitar for the church for over a year now.  He plays with our praise team on Sunday mornings.  We are very appreciative of the musicality he brings to our Sunday morning worship.

 

  

 

 Karen has been our Youth Director for over a year now, and she has been doing a wonderful job.  She is the leader of our Presbyterian Youth Group (PYGs).  The youth enjoy a weekly bible study as well as a special event every month.  Karen has also helped us with our VBS the past two summers!

 

 


Laura works hard to keep our church clean each week.  With three floors, this is no easy task.  Thanks you Laura for all your hard work!

 

 

  

 Cindy provides a place for our younger church-goers to play during our worship service.  We are fortunate to have a nursery for our children, but even more fortunate that we have Cindy to keep a watchful eye over the children while providing music and activities.

 

 

 

  Cherie has been our treasurer for several years now and she does a great job of making sure all our finances are in order.  It's definitely a lot of work, and we're thankful Cherie is up to the task.
