Karen Downey

The friendly voice you will hear on the church’s prayer chain belongs to Karen Downey, our office administrator and financial secretary.  Karen keeps us organized.  When she’s not in the office, Karen is usually taking care of her elderly mother. Her best buddy is her dog Cody. Karen was formerly head of the Army Corps of Engineers at John Martin Reservoir. She served in that position for 20 years. We are so blessed to have her here serving at VCC!
