My name is Karen Walling, and I have been serving as the Pastoral Ministry Assistant since 2023. My husband, Andrew, and I homeschooled our four children from 2002 to 2024. During those formative years with our children, I held multiple volunteer positions at church, within our homeschool group, at RideAbility, and with American Heritage Girls (AHG). I especially enjoy the ministry aspect of my role at FBC Byram, along with the opportunity to utilize my organizational skills. My motto is: “Whatever you do, do it as to the Lord.”
