During her college years, she became an active member of AmeriCorps participating in intensive service to meet the critical needs of the community. This venture ignited her passion for helping at-risk children. It gave her the opportunity, freedom and creativity to tutor, mentor and develop enrichment programs for youth of all ages.

Her scripture of meditation this season is John 15: 16 -17 

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.”

Kristina McGathy

Events Coordinator

Kristina is a mother of four wonderful children, Derrell, Aniya, Aaliyah, and Santana. She is the daughter of Pastor Sarah Campbell and Novell Campbell, with Joseph Spears also playing a pivotal role in her life. Kristina's roots lie deep in the familial values she cherishes. Gastonia, NC, is where she calls home today, although her story began in the quaint rural setting of Bunnlevel, NC.

Her faith is the cornerstone of her existence, with a fervent belief in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which translates into an unwavering passion for people. This very zeal propelled her to establish 2 Kris’s Korner INC., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and services to those in dire need. Through this venture, she embodies the very essence of community service and outreach.

Kristina attends Core Church, located in Belmont, NC, under the leadership of Pastors Tim & Jocelyn McCarn.

Kristina draws profound inspiration from her favorite scripture, Matthew 5:14-16 NLT, which encapsulates her life's philosophy: to be a beacon of hope and generosity. It reads, "You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."

Her life, much like the illuminating city on a hill, serves as a testament to her commitment to living a life of purpose, guided by faith and a heartfelt desire to uplift those around her.
