So glad you're checking out Foothills Ladies.  Let me share a little bit about myself.  I have worked for Foothills since 2017 and have served as the director of Foothills Ladies since 2022.  I am married with 3 kids and reside in rural Molalla.  We have two dogs, Sherman Tank and Claira Sue, cats, and goats that round off our busy family.  When I'm not smiling and meeting new faces at work, I enjoy cheering my kids on at their sporting events and spending time with my family boating on Detroit lake during our summer getaways.

I am an extravert and high energy.  I love meeting new people and forming friendships..."bring on the people!"  

Kristi McLelland is a speaker, teacher and college professor.

She has dedicated her life to discipleship, to teaching people how to study the Bible for themselves, and to writing about how God is better than we ever knew by explaining the Bible through a Middle Eastern lens. Her great desire for people to truly experience the love of God birthed a ministry in which she leads biblical study trips to Israel, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. Kristi will take us through the parables of Luke 15 and their historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic context. "My heart is both hopeful and expectant as we come to this biblical table together. Before the foundations of the world were ever laid, the living God saw this moment in our lives. We are invited to the table-He will do the feeding."
