Intentional community is part of the “DNA” of King’s Fold.\u00a0 In community we find the strength and encouragement to live the journey. Our sense of community begins with our resident staff and extends to our part time staff, board members, volunteers,\u00a0long term\u00a0friends, former staff, and of course, our guests.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our\u00a0Volunteers<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(who we call Associates) are an important part of the retreat ministry, and provide an additional richness to our community while bringing time, willingness, essential\u00a0skills and expertise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The\u00a0Resident Community<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0is a unique group of men and women who have committed themselves to the mission of King’s Fold.\u00a0 Their diverse life journey and broad faith backgrounds create a rich resource for ministry and relationships.\u00a0 Currently the\u00a0Resident Community<\/strong><\/span> includes Randy & Kim Wiens, Frank (Director) and Nancy Littel, Loren and Pavlina Barg, Marlene Adrian, Michelle Newsham, Teresa Smith, and Terry Dykstra. Mary Litschke serves part time and is a delight to work with. We are so grateful for these people and the varied journeys each one brings to enhance our community.\u00a0 Of course, Leila and our 2 cats (Tigger and Hobbes) complete our resident community and keep us company!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
