Kari has been Svea's church musician for 10 years. She was baptized, confirmed, and married at Svea, spending 10 years away from the area getting her college degree (with a minor in Vocal Music), traveling with a Christian singing & drama group, and serving as a youth director through Tentmakers at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in La Crosse, WI. Back in the Svea area with her husband, Pete, to raise their 7 children, she has enjoyed leading Sunday School music, directing the Luther League dinner theater music, playing the organ and piano for worship, coordinating the praise teams, and leading groups of singers and instrumentalists occasionally.
