Kristi Calhoun

Pastor

Kristi previously served 2 church appointments in Nicholasville and Lancaster Kentucky. Both churches are multi-congregational, multi-contural, and multi-language churches. Kristi is in the process of completing her Mdiv at Asbury Seminary. She is planning to reduce her class load to 4 credit hours per semester over the next year in order to focus on St. Paul UMC as her first professional priority. Because of this choice, Kristi will graduate in May 2024.

Kristi is married to Greg Calhoun and they have one daughter, Alli, who is 14. The Calhoun family has two very nerdy parents, and one teenager who is desperately trying to be cooler than her parents. Unfortunately, ‘NERD’ is the only life her parents know how to teach her, so her fate is probably sealed. Greg enjoys working with the technology during worship and Alli enjoys working with the Children’s Ministries. They are excited to help as they are needed. The Calhoun family is looking forward to journeying through life with the people of St. Paul, and joining together in Christian affection and friendship.
