Pastor Keri McHattie finds the opportunity to serve at Kalama Nazarene to be a new adventure. She was made lead pastor starting in May of 2023, serving part time while working full time at Three Rivers Christian Middle/High School, where she runs the Mission Impact Program, International Exchange Program and teaches Bible for Mission and Art.
Keri has her Bachelors of Science with a double major in Bible & Youth Ministries followed by a Masters of Divinity from Dubuque Theological Seminary. When Keri isn’t enjoying time in nature, traveling, being an Aunt, or doing art, you’ll find her trying to keep up with her 3 longterm International Exchange sons, Chansol (S. Korea), Dennis (Taiwan) & Arturo (Spain).
Brad Rinard has been a part of Kalama Nazarene since he was in the nursery in diapers! Brad is the Manager of the Building & Grounds and an Elder on the Board. Some of Brad’s favorite ways to serve at the Church involves cooking (busting out the BBQ), serving on the Media Team and working with the Teens & the Young Adults. Brad is a Bigfoot enthusiast, enjoys his family, going to Seahawk Games and coaching the Kalama Softball Team. GO NOOKS!
Kim Rinard serves as our Bookkeeper and leads our Finance and Grants Team. Her council and expertise is a constant blessing. When Kim isn’t keeping books she is enjoying spending time with others down at our local Poker Petes Bar where she tends. Kim has a special heart to be fully present with those she is with and has the gift of encouragement. You will find Kim cheering for her kids and grandkids at sporting events and looking for opportunities to indulge in crafting.
Bob Hill started out in Kalama, traveled - and found his way back! Bob has been an Engineer for Boeing, later Drove Truck and was the Operations Clerk for the Army Air Force Exchange Service & served as Senior Pastor for Castlerock Church of the Nazarene. But Kalama was always his home!
When Bob first started coming to Kalama Nazarene he was only 2 years old! He became a member at the age of 16 and we are glad for his return to the story here in Kalama at the Church. Bob has been our Church Board Secretary for 18 years! We are blessed by his wisdom, history and deep insight. Bob rolls with the changes of the world and desires for all to be reached by the love of God!
Bob’s favorite things to do in his down time is wood turning! He loves finding Jesus in nature, but also loves creating himself! His inner engineer is still there, getting excited about every new power tool on the market that he can use to advance his carving. Why whittle when there is a woodlathe with variable speed that is reversible & has a 14 x 20 capacity?!
Pam Coulson has had her run of valley’s and mountaintops & in all things, God has blessed her! She has 2 adopted sons, has been a preschool teacher and now serves our Children’s Ministry. She has been a certified Nanny as well. Pam serves on our Board of Elders, our MOPS Team, Grants Team and has a servant heart often found creating meals and being one of the last to leave after cleaning up.
Pam loves being open with people and building connection. You will find her a willing participant on any range of activities. She finds inspiration for life watching how God gifts the children she works with. The are at an age where everything is new and an opportunity to explore. Pam keeps her childlike wonder by being an explorer herself. She loves to travel across the world and back and see what God is up to in other places.
Luna (full name “Lady Moonshine”) is Pastor Keri’s puppy who is waiting to be old enough to start her training to become a Licensed Therapy Dog.
Luna is already an excellent greeter, comforter and participant. We are excited to see her as “staff”, to be there to provide care and comfort for those who need her special gifting as we see God endows.
Luna is also very gifted at eating leaves, stealing shoes and demanding peanut butter with bananas.
