Karen Claunch - ​ Director of Childhood Education

Hi!  I’m Karen and the Kid Zone is my “Happy Place”!
I have the joy of leading the Children’s Ministries of St. Andrew Baptist.

I am married to the Pastor of our church, and we love doing ministry together!  Our family is a delight to us.  We have 2 sons and currently 7 amazing grandchildren.  We are also waiting for our 8th grandchild through an international adoption.
When I was in high school I felt the Lord was calling me to serve Him although at that time I wasn’t sure what that meant.  During college as I had opportunity to be involved in Kid’s camps, and even to serve as an interim Children’s Minister, the Lord confirmed a call in my life to serve with preschoolers and children.
​
Since that time I have been on a church staff in that capacity.  We live in difficult times and I feel a renewed sense of urgency to reach this generation for Christ.  In fact my life verse is Psalm 78:4 & 7a:
…Telling the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done…That they may set their hope in God.

When I am not in the Kid Zone I love being with family, going on mission, reading or watching LSU football!  Fall is my favorite season and I love all things pumpkin!
