Christine currently serves Foster the City as the Bay Area Director. Her heart's desire is to see followers of Jesus tuning into His voice and saying "yes" to His invitations in their everyday lives. She loves to inspire other leaders to live into the fullness of who God has created them to be!

She also loves to teach the Bible in ways that challenge and inspire people to not simply gather more information but to enter into transformation by the power of the Spirit. Christine was privileged to do her undergraduate work at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, later earning her MA from Western Seminary. Christine has been in pastoral ministry for many years.

These days, you can find her traveling around the Bay Area challenging Jesus-followers to consider how He is inviting them to enter the lives of some of our most vulnerable neighbors, precious children in foster care, and their families.

Married to Doug since 1997, she is a bio, foster, and adoptive mama to Grace, 25, Kayla Joy, 17 and Isaac, 8.


"Rooted in Biblical truth and motivated by a passionate heart, Christine’s effervescent style and communication skills bring life to most any event and audience. I wholeheartedly encourage you to use Christine to communicate a vital message that compels the heart and engages the mind.”
