Katie grew up in Orange County and began attending Saddleback when she was 13 years old. She started serving as an intern in the junior high ministry at age 19 in 1994, and then God opened the door for her to join the Saddleback staff and play various roles within the student ministry for the past 27 years. She coordinated volunteers, small groups, and student leaders for the junior high and high school ministries, served as the junior high pastor for 10 years, and then went on to lead and serve as the student ministries pastor for the last three years. Katie is committed to helping every generation fall deeper in love with Jesus, discover their true identity in Christ, find belonging in our church family, and serve using their God-given gifts. She and her husband, Ron, have three kids: Abby, Ella, and Cooper.
