Meet our Team
At Christ Kaleidoscope, it is our hope that every person who walks through our doors feels like they have a role in serving the church and the surrounding community. Every week, we have many faces and personalities that take part in the privilege and witness of gathering together at the feet of Jesus. Meet a few of those faces.
