It’s Good to be a Facilitator Christian education is my passion. I have a passion for learning and reading new things and sharing that with others. Facilitating small groups has led me to some amazing growth as a Christian. I not only learn from the material being studied, but I learn from others in the group, which blesses me richly. Here at Brentwood Church we have a wealth of opportunities to learn and grow and share. Come channel your “inner geek” with me! – Katherine Orr
