A Welcome Note from Kyrstin

Hi!

My name is Kyrstin Schwartz and I am thrilled to be a part of the Gloria Dei team starting December 3rd.

I live in Inver Grove Heights with my husband Keith and two children, Gus (4 years) and Lila (4 months). As a family we love spending time in our pool, having movie nights, playing legos and going on adventures! For the past 13 years I have served at Faith Lutheran Church in Forest Lake as the Director of Children, Youth and Family Ministries.

I am excited to be focusing on Children and Families in my position at Gloria Dei. I look forward to growing in our faith together!
