Dear Summit Church,
After careful consideration, I have decided to step down as Caring Ministry Director at Summit Church at the end of October to spend six months in California near my family and take time to discern my next vocational steps. Through this process, I have recognized a desire to return to my background and passions in teaching and the visual and performing arts.
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve at Summit Church. This role has provided valuable experience, meaningful relationships, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. I appreciate the trust and support you have extended to me during my time here.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve Summit Church and its congregation. I wish the team and the Caring Ministry continued success.
Sincerely,
Kristen
