Heather Southard, Faith Formation Coordinator

Heather started coming to church when her son was about five years old. She comes from a mixed-religious household, and her husband and Heather share the same principles of spirituality. They needed a way to teach their son about the bigger picture in a way that gives him options. High Plains was exactly what she was looking for. She got involved right away in a Parents Small Group, and then years later, finally on the Faith Formation Team. Having then been mentored on that Team, the path eventually led to helping lead the Summer program. The next natural step was to “help” the Faith Formation Team to organize the new Fall program. Heather has always been great at organization and diving into details. She loved going to Sunday School as a kid. So now, her natural talents are being put to use in a way where she can have fun and attend Sunday School again.

Karen Holton, Bookkeeper

Karen came to High Plains in the Summer of 2015. From the first moment, she felt “at home” and became a member within two months of her first visit.  Shortly thereafter, she became a member of the finance team when it was learned she had 30 plus years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting. After being involved with finance, it became clear that the church was in need of a bookkeeper, so in June of 2017, she began the process of becoming familiar with the books and the system and took over those responsibilities in the fall of 2017. Karen continues in that capacity and hopes to do her best to assist in ensuring our fiscal good health in the coming years.
