Kristen Matthews | Preschool Assistant

First Year at ACA: 2022

Kristen loves nurturing preschoolers and has a special interest for engaging young children with music and leading them to praise the Lord and rehearse His goodness through songs. Kristen serves as the Children's Choir Coordinator at Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church and particularly enjoys leading a Preschool Music Circle time each Sunday.  

Kristen was raised in Los Altos, CA and received vocal performance degrees from Rice University and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.  Kristen performed in operas, musical theater and as a soloist in churches and recital halls in California, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania before meeting Tommy at Redeemer Presbyterian Church NYC where she was on staff as the Musician Ministry Associate.  

Kristen and Tommy married in 2011, and when Amelia was born a year later, they left New York City to plant roots in Denver where Tommy was born and raised.  Kristen enjoys reading aloud to her three children: Amelia, Thomas, and Virginia, taking walks with her dog, Ruby, baking, gardening, exploring the beauty of Colorado, ACA Theater Club, and singing, of course!
