My vision is to help the church continue to grow as a place where people can feel welcome, to worship, and share the word of God. An added purpose is to conserve the beauty of the church property and use it to provide an atmosphere of peace, worship, and education as a priority.

My career spanned nearly forty years of public education serving as a teacher, principal, superintendent, and mentor for future leaders seeking a doctorate in educational leadership and career advancement. Being on many boards throughout my life has given me the opportunity to problem solve, contribute to the health and vitality of the community, and work with others to come together to make decisions for the best opportunities for children. As a public school superintendent in four California school districts, I had the incredible honor of serving and attempting to bring out the best in others. This is the defining point of my life’s professional purpose.

My personal philosophy is to make each day the best day of my life and let my light shine before men so they may see my good works and good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

Kappie, her husband Steven, and their three sons, aged 15, 12, and 9, have been part of Tahoe Church since moving to Truckee 11 years ago. Over the years, Kappie has served in various roles, including nursery team organizer, leading women's hiking groups, coordinating meal trains, and preparing hot chocolate for Easter and Halloween events. She values the authentic community at Tahoe Church, where believers invest in each other and live out the heart of Jesus.

Having completed one term, Kappie is honored to be nominated for a second. In her first term she contributed to the church move to independence and alternated as board chair. She is currently working on establishing a membership process and creating programming content. With a strong understanding of the church's history and clear vision of what lies ahead, she is eager to continue representing the body of Tahoe Church.

Hello. I’m Lindsay, I've been a part of our church for almost 5 years and I am honored to be considered for the Tahoe Forest Church Board. I love our community so dearly and feel that our church mission is important, influential, and loving. 

I hold a Master's degree from Denver Seminary in Counseling and a BA from Oklahoma Baptist University in Religion and Psychology. I also hold a certificate of biblical studies from Torchbearers International. My professional experience is in Counseling and Digital Health, with most of my experience at startups. A few roles that meant a lot to me were: Foster Care Counselor in the nonprofit sector and a Behavior and Character Education Specialist in the public schools in Nashville, TN. I am now at home with our kiddos (which is equally challenging and wonderful).

My husband (Seth) and I have been married coming up on a decade and we’ve had 3 children together. You will see Bodie (4) and Adelaide (1) running around here and our firstborn, Brooks, lives in Heaven.

Seth and I love to hike, backpack, and snowboard together. I love cooking, fine art, and heartfelt conversations with dear friends. 

I believe we are at the most exciting crossroads at our church right now and I am humbled to be considered to have a seat at the table for these important conversations. I believe so many good things are to come that will glorify the Lord through the work we are doing here together. Feel free to say hi! I'd love to get to know you.
