Council

Kris Shields – Council President

Kris became a member in 2018 and dove right into all things Living Waters. She has served as a key leader in our Children’s Ministry, and is famous with the kids having played the character of “Boris” in the Emoji Prayer skits.

She is a lover of all things coffee and has turned her passion into a career as a barista.

Kris was raised in the church, having been a “PK” (Pastor’s kid) and loves learning and teaching about God’s Grace!

Mark Braun – Treasurer

Mark and his wife Jackie have been members of Living Waters for going on 15 years. He is technically retired but picks up odd jobs to keep him busy-especially in the winter!

A key member of Living Waters’ property team, Mark can almost always be found fixing or cleaning something. Most Thursday mornings you’ll find him here playing cards.

In his spare time he enjoys gardening, camping, and walking with his dog Shelby.

Vicki Faehn – Vice President

Vicki retired in 2012 after working in healthcare for a number of years in supporting roles. She is a lover of puzzles and games, playing cards, breaking bread with friends and baking for family and friends. Lending a hand to others is always on her radar, so she currently cleans for a friend with disabilities.

Vicki is known at Living Waters for her storytelling abilities and is often found reading the lessons and prayers in worship.

Kris Anderson – Secretary

Kris is a long time member at Living Waters. She retired in 2011 after working in an office setting for many years. She’s married and has two grown daughters, who live in the area, three grandsons, and lots of nieces and nephews.

When Kris isn’t at the church helping in the office she can likely be found in her kitchen baking up something delicious or puttering in her garden.
