Karen Mathis

Office Manager

Mrs. Karen Mathis has managed our church office and served as the church secretary since 2000. During her lengthy tenure, she has worked with four Senior Pastors and a host of other staff members. She is responsible for managing the office, handling contributions and serves as our financial secretary. She oversees all publications, the church calendar, day-to-day operations and is the friendly and helpful face of our ministries. We also say that she is the guardian of the "book with all the answers." In short, she's the glue that keeps the Pinecrest office together.

Prior to her longstanding service at Pinecrest, Karen worked in the Crisp County School System. She is a graduate of South Georgia Technical College.

Karen is a proud mother and grandmother and an active member of Wenona Baptist Church. She is a cancer survivor and works with the Crisp County Relay for Life. In her "spare time," she is an avid crocheter and an excellent cook.
