Welcome to Youth in Mission at LSTC! I am so excited you found our website! My name is Kristin Johnson, and I serve as the Program Coordinator of YIM. I am originally from a small town in north-central Iowa, and I am a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa. While in college, I developed a passion for working with youth and serving others through volunteering with several human service organizations and my involvement with the UNI Lutheran Student Center, including a mission trip to Guatemala. I was previously employed as a caseworker and coordinator at two different faith-based non-profit organizations prior to serving as YIM’s Program Coordinator here at LSTC. Being from a small town, I never imagined that I would ever live in a big city like Chicago. In fact, I was still somewhat hesitant when my husband first felt called to attend LSTC. Fortunately, it’s been an amazing experience for both of us though. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, watching sporting events (especially football and baseball), and exploring various sites and attractions throughout the city of Chicago.

Greetings! My name is Kristin Rice, and I am a Master of Divinity student here at LSTC. This means that in 2.5 years I will hopefully be okayed for ordained pastoral ministry in the ELCA! I grew up in Michigan’s magical Upper Peninsula and spent four fantastic years at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. I graduated in 2005 with a degree in Religion, with vested interest in Psychology. I also spent two years with Youth Encounter's international music ministry teams: New Dawn, to parts of Southeast Asia and Kindred, to Peru and Bolivia in South America. I have loved living in Chicago for the last two years and am excited for another year of exploration and discovery of what this town has to offer. I am also happy to be working with Youth in Mission for a second year, as the Office Assistant and Youth Center Manager. I will be thrilled to welcome you in whatever capacity you come to visit us.
