Youth and Family ministry continues to grow here at Immanuel-Trinity. Each year we celebrate different aspects of a child's faith through Building Blocks of Faith. Throughout the year there are also lots of opportunities to serve and come together for fellowship with people of all ages through various activities.
     I graduated from the University of California at Davis with a degree in Sociology. After working in California at a Group Home with Atkinson's Youth services and as a youth director for two years,I was called to go to seminary. I graduated from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN and was ordained into Word and Sacrament ministry in 2000.
     My husband Tim is also a pastor. We love to have fun and serve the Lord. Yes, we met in seminary - in Summer Greek class.

    Personally my greatest joy as organist is leading a congregation in a way that allows them to easily participate in liturgy as well as hymn singing. Having lived in Milwaukee for twenty-five years gave me the opportunity to acquire a background in worship settings ranging from Greek Orthodox to Christian Science - playing on instruments defined as "questionable" to digital.
     Serving as organist at Immanuel-Trinity allows me to play a variety of liturgies as well as hymn styles on a 44 rank Tellers Organ. Other responsibilities include playing for funerals, weddings, accompanying the Adult Choir, Junior Choir and special music as needed.
     My music degree was earned from Mount Mary College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

     Hi, my name is Kathy Kelliher and I am happy to be part of the Immanuel-Trinity Church family. My position is Parish Administrator and I will be taking over for Sandy who is transitioning to part-time administrative assistant. 
      I moved to Fond du Lac sixteen years ago from Green Bay and have been happily married to Dennis for thirty-two years. We have two children and two grandsons. My hobbies include reading and quilting. I look forward to meeting all of you.

        I feel richly blessed to be part of the Ministry team here at Immanuel-Trinity. Having been a part of the Lutheran faith for my entire life, I am so grateful to be in a position of teaching, encouraging, nurturing and guiding church goers of all ages to praise and glorify God through the gift of music. This is a calling for which I have had a life-time passion.
       The daughter of a pastor, I grew up in a Lutheran parsonage and my mother was a church choir director and a musican. I've been singing in church for longer than I can remember, and Lutheran musical heritage has been, and is, a very important part of my life.
      I received a B.A. in music from Bethany Lutheran College in Lindsborg, KS, and pursued graduate vocal studies at a variety of schools during the last two decades. I have been a private vocal instructor at Fond du Lac High School, Marian college, UW Fond du Lac, and Lakeland College, as well as chorus teacher at St Mary's Springs High School for three years. Additionally, I have directed a number of choirs and participated in teaching Sunday School and Bible School at various churches.
      I am the proud mother of twin daughters, Rachel and Rebecca, who currently are attending college. We all reside in Fond du Lac.
       In addition to parenting, singing and teaching, I also enjoy sewing and crafting, attending concerts and music festivals, traveling, history, visual arts, and socializing.

Welcome to Immanuel-Trinity! As Administrative Assistant, I work with the financial aspects of the church, produce the monthly newsletter, and assist the administrator and Pastors. For  eight years, I was a full time employee and for the past two years, I have reduced my work load to part-time which gives me more time to spend with my husband and grandchildren. I have been a commissioned Stephen Minister since 1999 and highly recommend this wonderful, caring, Christian Program. My hobbies include: camping, boating, quilting, reading, traveling, and scrapbooking.
