  Kris Hayden – Administrative Assistant

I have been with Channahon UMC as the Office Administrator since October 15, 2012. 
 
My husband Todd and I were married in 1994 and have 2 boys – now young adults.  It has been a blessing to nurture them and watch them grow!
 
I love any kind of worship and spiritual retreats, family vacations, outdoor activities (walking, biking and kayaking) and playing co-ed volleyball with my husband.
 
I am blessed with a very close family and several sacred friendships that help keep me grounded and Jesus in the lime-light!
 
What I love most about my job is lending a listening ear to those who stop in my office and sharing scripture wherever possible! From the beginning, this job has always been more of a ministry. It is such a blessing to see how God works through me for the benefit of the congregation and the community.  And I am the CUMC Thrift shop’s BEST customer…(teehee!)
