Secretary, Jessica Stirrat
(appointed by Leadership Team)
Jessica Stirrat has spent over twenty years as a full-time homemaker and homeschooler to her older children and now to 5-year old adoptive daughters. Before that, Jessica served for 8 years in law enforcement as a deputy sheriff. She's been president of community clubs and cycles in and out of leading children's Wednesday night ministry at church. She believes that all sides of a conflict should be heard so long as the representative can be respectful. It's almost impossible to please everyone, so Jessica's goal is to serve the most people in the best way through negotiation. Her husband, David, is a firefighter/paramedic.
Treasurer, Laura Wally
(appointed by Leadership Team)
Laura Wally and her husband, Jim, have been homeschooling since their firstborn (now 10 years old) started his education. With administrative giftings, Laura has worked and excelled in detail-oriented jobs such as a pharmacy technician and administrative assistant for a financial advisor’s office. Though it has been a while since she began her journey as a homeschool mom, those skills still run strong and she is grateful for the opportunity to serve KBCH and help manage finances with integrity and glory to God. She has always been a truth-speaker, but God has grown her ability to speak that truth in love. Not for the sake of being right, but as in Ephesians 4:3, “making every effort to keep [ourselves] united in the Spirit, binding [ourselves] together with peace.
Understudy to the Treasurer
Robin Cook
Robin Cook has agreed to work alongside our treasurer, John Hildebrant, this year to provide continuity in financial management moving forward. The Cooks bring helpful hands and hearts to KBCH. They’re team players who love learning.. Robin is a servant-hearted self-starter who seeks a team/collaborative approach to solving problems.
