Kristin Wiersma

Kristin Wiersma's passion is to bring the most impact possible to congregations for health, vitality, mission focus and financial stability. She joined Kairos in 2013 and believes strongly in the philosophy and framework from which the work is done: cultivating vision, faith and courage to inspire generosity and fulfill purpose.



Kristin worked with congregations, church agencies and organizations to shape their missional identity for communication and financial stewardship as Principal and Lead Consultant of Seraphim Communications for more than 16 years. In her role with Seraphim, she worked with Kairos clients for communication with great success.



Recognizing a changing cultural landscape in which congregations minister, Kristin has a passion for helping them claim a unique mission (or Holy Purpose for ministry) that reflects the congregation’s setting, passion, giftedness and needs of the community. Kristin brings experience in leadership development, organizational assessment, organizational development, strategic communication planning, branding and fund development for nonprofits.



Kristin has a Masters of Organization Development and Change from Penn State University, a BS from Augsburg College. She and her husband Hans, a Lutheran pastor and Associate Professor at Augsburg University reside in St. Paul, MN.
