Kristin uses her creativity in communications, connections, and as a creator for our organization. With her many years at Beacon People, she plays a pivotal role in managing tasks often handled by our director. Kristin leads the Collaboration Circle leaders, manages the website, and oversees both digital and hardcopy design work. She also serves as project manager for the Shepherding Grace Leadership Workshop. Her creative gifts shine through in her design work, and she communicates effectively with our community due to her deep understanding of our mission and the hearts of the people we serve.

Tracy is a capturer of memories – using photography and writing to tell the stories of people and events. As a child, she began seeking God’s purpose for her life and has dealt with a multitude of twists and turns along the path – some that shattered her world and almost shattered her beliefs. With her own personal challenges and other life experiences, she seems to always be thinking outside of the box, and rebuilding her faith. Because of this Tracy is often able to share and help other Beacons look at topics differently.

Tracy helps lead Behold Him, takes photos of Beacons in action, and writes about what made Beacons who they currently are. Professionally a freelance photographer and writer, Tracy is married with a grown daughter, is learning sign language, and is on her church’s worship team.

Kristi was drawn in by Beacon People’s mission of shining a light throughout Birmingham, AL. Over her adult life, she has leaned into following God’s purpose for her throughout different seasons. She enjoys helping others do the same and is often helping someone with their job search. Kristi helps plan and execute projects that propel Beacon People's mission of Connecting, Guiding and Launching life-giving opportunities while shining the light of Jesus. Kristi coordinates our Coffee & Connection gatherings and Beacon team meetings. Learn more about Kristi.
