Kim HarrisChildren's Ministry DirectorI’ve been married to Chris Harris since 1994, and we have four children: Kinsley, who is 29 and her husband Delmar; Johnathon, who is 23, and his wife, Kenya; Christopher who is 19; and Jayden who is 13. I enjoy spending time with my family and crafting. We’ve been attending Cassville Baptist Church since the Fall of 2000. Shortly after, I had found my calling working with the children, where I have had the privilege to work and/or direct VBS and Awana for almost 15 years. I currently enjoy working as the Children’s Ministry Director, while watching the children learn and grow in their walk with the Lord. My heart is the happiest when I’m serving the families in our church and community with outreach events like Fun in the Son, Angel Tree, and Fall Festival.
