Katrina Sidener

NextGen Pastor

Katrina has been serving in children’s ministry at Longview First Christian Church since 2025. As Children’s Education Coordinator, she leads the LFKids ministry, creating welcoming spaces where children can explore faith, ask questions, and begin building a strong foundation in Christ. She is passionate about helping children grow in their understanding of God and partnering with families as they nurture faith at church and at home.

Katrina holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in education and is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity at Fuller Seminary as part of her continued call to ministry and leadership.

Outside of church and seminary, Katrina stays busy with her family. She and her husband are raising six kids, so life is usually full and lively. She also volunteers as a Girl Scout troop leader, enjoys time outdoors, and loves settling in with a good book and cup of tea.
