Katie Lauthen, KIDS Ministry Pastor
Katie is one of those people that you hear before you see. Whether it is her laugh or her sneeze, you know she's around somewhere. At least, that is what her friends at Biola University & Talbot Seminary would tell her; her husband David definitely stands behind the statement. But, behind the laughing & sneezing Katies is thrilled to be part of the Seacoast staff. She loves the deep and goofy parts of life, time with her husband, family, sports, her three cats, and friends, climbing, teaching, or singing when she can and finding beauty in the seemingly mundane things of life.
