Meet the Team

You probably could already tell from her tan, but Alison grew up on sunny Southern California beaches before she and her husband relocated in 1990 to the slower pace of life found in… Bellevue. Ironic.

The smile lines on her face are brought to you by many years in youth ministry, her three adult children, and three granddaughters. Her role at Arbor is like having a surprise child late in life: unexpected but deeply delightful. Ps 27:4

Lindsey was born and raised in Northern Arizona. She, along with her husband and two kids, made their way to the Bothell area in 2021. Even with the big adjustment to the rainy weather, they have truly found their home. The only compromise being the lack of authentic Mexican food. Which, they can get over.

When Lindsey isn’t working she enjoys traveling with her family, finding a new place to eat, cooking up a new recipe or being near the water. She feels immense gratitude at being able to support families and children here at Arbor Church.

Cathryn and her husband, Mike, have lived in the Seattle area since they married. They are the proud parents of two amazing adult children and live with a sweet Goldendoodle. She currently works full-time as a bookkeeper at Acres of Diamonds. Her greatest joy in life is to walk with people as they discover their value, worth and purpose in Jesus. She also enjoys making music, gardening, sewing, and laughing with others.

Darcy grew up in Arbor’s backyard and as a teen came to faith in Jesus through Young Life. Her love of outdoor activity led her to meet her husband, Timo, where they both worked for REI. Learning to climb Mount Rainier together was their first adventure; raising three children was the next!

Darcy shines brightest in worship, prayer, and in the sunshine. Her heart is to help others know the love and grace of Jesus, a beautiful combination with her leadership gifts as an elder.

Scott volunteers on the teaching team here at Arbor and also serves on our elder board. Not only is he a great communicator, he can pretty much do everything else… and has! From backpacking, to guiding white-water rafting trips, Scott loves to be outdoors. He’s a former youth pastor, camp director, and the current principal at Spiritridge Elementary in Bellevue.

More than all of that, he is a dedicated father of three, who loves Jesus with all his heart.

Braden has called Woodinville home for years, where he lives with his wife and their four kids. By day he works as a Product Manager at Microsoft; the rest of the time he’s exploring the Pacific Northwest, coaching his kids’ sports, or lost in a good book. His heart is for serving families – helping them find a place to belong and grow together in faith. He is grateful to walk alongside the Arbor community in that mission.

Katie is a single mama to two wild and wonderful boys, a licensed esthetician, and a lover of all things skin and self-care. She was raised in Bothell as a pastor’s kid, which gave her a deep sense of faith and family. In her free time you’ll likely find her eating too much Chik-fil-A (if there is such a thing) or enjoying time with family on Whidbey Island – relaxing by the lake and recharging in nature.
