Meet The Team

Pastor Carolyn has been with Kingo for 7 years now, and she enjoys serving the Kingo community because Kingo is curious about where the Holy Spirit is moving us. Grounded in a faith that is rooted to Christ’s grace, Kingo celebrates the diversity of God’s people and gifts. Pastor Carolyn graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee before working as a violinist-teacher and graphic designer. She attended Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Pastor Carolyn is married to her wife Char. Together, they enjoy gardening, kayaking, and walking the shoreline of Lake Michigan. They live with an adopted rescue cat named Luna who has graciously accepted them as her staff.

​Nicole graduated from UW-Milwaukee in 2009 with a bachelor’s in Business Administration - Marketing. She has worked in both the corporate and non-profit sectors since she graduated but loves non-profit the most. She was the Ministry Assistant for two and a half years at CrossPoint Church, where her husband and she are members. She loves to use her creative gift to create marketing materials as well as her hobby of revamping tired furniture.
Apart from work, she has two elementary-aged boys, and is currently the PTA president at their school. She loves to find new opportunities to build relationships and to show Christ’s love for them. She enjoys aiding Trinity's mission of sharing the story of Jesus Christ so all may experience God’s Love.

We are incredibly blessed by Maria's talents at accompanying congregational music. Whether it's a jazz piece, a traditional African hymn, a Latin processional song, or any of a host of other musical styles, Maria makes our church's song better. 

She and her husband, Tom, have been longtime residents of the Shorewood community.

Susan has been with Kingo for almost a year and a half. What she enjoys most about being Kingo's Financial Administrator is working with and getting to know many different individuals. During her free time, Susan loves to spend time with her family. She is also an avid gardener, and she admits that she is often what people would classify as a “Crazy Cat Lady”!
