Although Katie officially joined us in early May, we’re delighted to give her a proper welcome as the Synod’s new Wilderness Worker. Based with the Hull Team churches, Katie will be working with children, young people and families across our three congregations, helping us build relationships, grow faith and explore new opportunities for mission.
Rather than us introducing her, here’s Katie in her own words…
“Hi, I’m Katie!
After 25 years as a secondary school teacher, I’ve taken the leap into a role that feels like the natural home for everything I love — working with children, young people and families across our three congregations in Hull.
My faith has always been at the heart of how I live and what motivates me, and I’m so excited to bring that into this new adventure.
When I’m not here, you’ll find me on our farm in East Yorkshire — home to ten (yes, ten!) alpacas, who are every bit as wonderful and ridiculous as you’re imagining. I also love losing myself in a good film, playing the piano, and getting lost in a book. I can’t wait to see where this Wilderness journey takes me, and I’m excited to see what the next four years will bring.”
