Meet Kimberly
Hailing from Southeastern CT, Kimberly started coming to GBC in 1998 to the Wednesday night “Teens” program, and, if you don’t count a nine-year stint in Europe somewhere in the middle, has been faithfully attending ever since. She has served in youth, women’s, and children’s ministry throughout her years at GBC and abroad, and has worked as a music and elementary teacher in New York City, the Netherlands, Latvia, and Connecticut. Her wonderfully supportive husband René is from the Netherlands, and they have one amazing little boy named Pieter. Kimberly loves cooking, decorating cakes, reading young adult dystopian fiction, lifting heavy (for her) things, and triathlon.
