Karen Shumaker
Director of Children & Families
A kid at heart, Karen has always thought that the “Kids’ Table" at any event was the most fun and interesting place to be. She loves that she gets to work with HPC’s kids and families and considers it an incredible privilege to partner with parents in helping kids to experience God’s love, to know God’s story, and to grow in their love for God and others.
She and her husband, Greg, have three children. Karen enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to live music, going for walks, taking road trips, “traveling" to Sheetz for an occasional Mallo Cup, and using commas.
Calista Brunett
Director of Music Ministries & Youth Associate
