Katrina Pennington,
Youth Director
Katrina, her husband Greg and their children came to CLPC in 1994 through the invitation of a friend. They quickly felt at home and became involved in the life of the church. When their oldest child moved into the youth program, Greg and Katrina became involved as youth volunteers, going on retreats and mission trips, leading small groups and helping in anyway possible. Jordan is now a sophomore in college and Kelsey, a high school sophomore, is active in the youth program.
Katrina received her BA from Baylor University and her Master’s in Christian Education from Golden Gate Seminary. Her vocational background is in Christian education, having served on church staff as the director of children’s education for 6 years at a church in Oklahoma and then as the principal of a local Christian school for 9 years. In 2001, Katrina was asked to serve as the director of student ministries at the church and she happily accepted the position. Jeremiah 29:11 is her favorite verse because it is a reminder of God’s faithfulness and that His plans for us, though sometimes surprising, are always better than our own plans.
