Harris York- Director of Student Ministries

Hello, my name is Harris York and I am the Director of Student Ministries here at First Presbyterian Church. I have been at First Presbyterian Church as an Assistant Director of Student Ministry since December of 2005 and now have the opportunity of being the Director. In early December of 2005 I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelors Degree in Criminology. Rome is where I grew up and First Presbyterian is my church home! I love being a part of youth ministry because it allows me to see God work in and through the lives of young people. Throughout my time here I have found a love for seeing students take hold of their faith. I hope and pray that the students that are in our ministry will see what that means in us as well as their peers and choose to do the same in their lives as well.

Karin Warner- Girls' Small Groups Coordinator

Hi! My name is Karin Warner, and I am the coordinator for girls' small groups. My husband and I have been away in Virginia for about five years, but are so excited to be back in Rome and working for the church! I have had the opportunity of working with the youth group here at First Presbyterian as both a summer intern while in college, and as a full-time employee after I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2000. My husband, Chad, and I have been married since 2002; we have two daughters: Aly (born in February of 2006) and Caroline (born in August of 2007). I believe so strongly in the vision and leadership of this youth ministry, and am excited to see the growth and development of each student as God works in and through them.
