Sabrina is an alumna of Sam Houston State University and comes to us with over 15 years of business and administrative operations experience.  Sabrina and her husband, John, are active members of our church, as well as several other organizations within the Huntsville community.  Together they have three amazing sons: Nicolas, Benjamin, and Jackson.  

Kristen was born and raised in Houston and holds an Associate of Arts degree from Southwestern Christian University, a Bachelor of Music Education from Houston Christian University, and a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Sam Houston State University.  

Kristen has over ten years of experience as a music educator and performer.  She has taught voice, beginner piano, and music courses at the university, public school, and private studio levels.  Her work includes directing both adult and children’s choirs, preparing students for performances, and encouraging independent musicianship.  She believes music is a vital expression of faith and a means of drawing the congregation closer to God in worship.  With a heart for both excellence and community, Kristen seeks to create worship experiences that reflect both joy and reverence for God’s presence.

Kristen has been a member of our CTK Choir since December 2024 and we are delighted that she has agreed to fill this role.  We are confident that Kristen’s experience, passion for music, and commitment to our church will be a tremendous asset to our Traditional Worship Service and Children’s Choir.  We know that both music programs will continue to flourish and bless our congregation and community.

Kristen and her husband, Chris, are Huntsville residents and have two beautiful daughters: Adrianna and Chloe.
