Christian Education Coordinator - Nathan Martsolf Nathan Martsolf is married to his wonderfully beautiful wife, Lindi. I am the Christian Education Coordinator here. "What do I do?" and "How do I spend my time?" Well, I wear many hats. I spend a good deal of my time with the youth of Indian Heights, while the rest of my time is balanced between Sunday School, leadership training, and assisting the pastor in whatever way they need. I love serving this church! God has given me a passion and a burden for this congregation and it's exciting to see how that's taking shape. If you ever have any questions, inquiries, or complaints I offer you an invitation- shoot me an email or give me a call. |

Choir Director - Kristi Lyn Klein I wanted to be a musician from age 5. At age 11 I sang my first church solo "Let There Be Peace On Earth". I went to KU to study music education but switched to Vocal Performance my sophomore year. I took graduate level conducting lessons to reach my goal of being a church choir director. My first church job was as the children's choir director at Good Shepherd. I quickly became the director of music at Good Shepherd. I became a Methodist shortly after my daughter Lauren was born and started working at St. Paul's UMC. 22 months after I had Lauren I had Scott and went to work at Church of the Servant which soon closed : I worked for Ward Parkway Presbyterian but missed United Methodist Church. I am now happy to be the Director of Music at Indian Heights! I love music but a close second is coaching. With my husband I coach 5th grade girls basketball, 3rd grade boys basketball, and 5th grade girls softball. In addition I am Lauren's Girl Scout Leader! |
