Kari Stainback serves as the Director of Women’s Ministries at Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, TX since 1999. She coordinates women’s Bible studies, discipleship and special events. Kari graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary with a Master’s degree in Biblical counseling and received her certification as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Originally from Greenville, Texas she has lived in Dallas since 1987. Kari is single and has 10 nieces and nephews with one on the way and 2 great-nephews who live near by whom she enjoys greatly. Kari explains her heart for women’s stories: “The stories God writes on our hearts are the evidences of God’s work in and through us. A story told to a stranger on an airplane of how God has answered prayer demonstrates the reality of Christ possibly better than any other argument for Christ could. Stories told between sisters in Christ of how God has uniquely worked to show His steadfast love and faithfulness deeply encourage and unite us.”
