Karli Overgaauw
Children's Pastor
Hi all! My name is Karli Overgaauw. I have attended CCF since we moved to Texas from California in 2019. From the moment we joined I started volunteering in the nursery, and after a few years I was asked to start helping in kids connection. I truly have loved getting to know the kids in our community and pray I make an impact in their lives like they have mine!
I am a wife and mama to my three amazing children. Lyla (9), Wade (8) and Beau (6) and I love that being the youth leader at CCF allows me to not only worship and praise God at church with your kids, but with my own as well. I am convinced there is nothing better than watching your children worship the Lord! I pray that my time here with your most precious and prized processions God has placed upon each and every one of you will result in a daily love to praise their Jesus! Forever His word upon their lips!

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
