Mrs. Valerie oversees our ministry to children ages birth through 5th grade. She loves to help children and adults alike discover the power of the Word of God and if you spend time around her, eventually you will find yourself helping to recreate the parting of the Red Sea, Jesus turning water into wine, or any number of other Bible stories that tell us about the God who loves us and wants to be in relationship with us. Valerie and her husband Dave grew up in St. Louis and found Parkway in 1996, just after they relocated here. With their closest family a thousand miles away, Parkway became a true "church home" in helping them to raise Kaitlin and Andrew and now, she directs her energy into providing the same atmosphere for your family.

She has a Bachelors in Business Management from the University of Houston and is pursuing her Masters in Divinity from Southern Methodist University. Kat attended Parkway UMC beginning in fifth grade and is so excited to be back serving in her home church in this way. She received her own call to vocational ministry during her junior year in high school at U.M. Army so she has a deep passion for youth mission trips, events, and ministry as a whole!

Her and her husband, Andrew, have three dogs: John Wesley (lab blue heeler mix), Francis Asbury (red heeler), and Lady (a complete mutt). Most of the time you can find Kat working on school assignments, nose deep in a book, or watching a show with her husband. She also loves fellowship time with friends through game nights (she won’t ever pass up an invitation for one!).
