Correena Obenauer, Office Administrator

My name is Correena Obenauer, and I graduated from the University of Sioux Falls. I previously served in church administration in Hartford, SD. My husband, Jonathan, and I provide ministry to the Juvenile Detention Center, and assist in running a family window cleaning business. I love Jesus and people. I'm a big fan of coffee, Oreos, and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman... sometimes all at once! Thank you for this opportunity to join your fellowship. I'm so excited to begin this new season serving Jesus together with you!
