Pastor Church Resources
Servant Leaders at Work - Katie Venhuizen
Katie Venhuizen serves as the administrative coordinator at Bethel CRC in Sun Valley, Calif. For almost 20 years Katie has provided this small, established, and diverse congregation with steady support and leadership “from the back.”
Katie coordinates meetings, finds volunteers, keeps records, and publishes key information items. She works alongside a Filipino pastor of discipleship, a worship director who comes from Mexico, and, until recently, a Dutch-background lead pastor.
Pastor Church Resources recently engaged in conversations with Bethel’s staff and council to help them with a number of important conversations related to their diversity, pandemic experiences, and communication practices. PCR’s work with Bethel allowed us to see a number of servant leaders in action, including Katie.
When PCR finds servant leaders like Katie, we thank God for what we see in the moment and for the faithfulness that we know they offer to their congregations over time.
