On this site you'll find lessons from various courses and workshops I've been teaching. Acting, Scriptwriting, Intro to Theatre, Using Drama in Church...it's all here. Interested in using drama as ministry, or having a ministry to theatre practitioners? See the links at the sidebar.
Kimberly belongs to the tribe of Creatives. They are her people. She loves to Mentor/Coach women leaders and emerging leaders. Together they cover spiritual, personal & leadership development issues. New to her is the role of Shepherd to prisoners who call Chattanooga home. Through Chattanooga Endeavors "Stephen's Table" volunteers, she corresponds with them, and ministers to their families. She's looking for more volunteers to write those on the waiting list! With her husband Jim, they open their home for personal retreats.
