Meet Our Interim Staff

Brianna Smith, interim office manager. You know Brianna as a choir member with a fabulous soprano voice. She began working at CPC this week so that Win could welcome her to the office and show her the ropes. In addition to being extraordinarily creative and musically talented, Briana has a wealth of experience in administration. She is already familiar with many of the computer programs we use, and perhaps more importantly, she is a “people person” who cheerfully greets our visitors.

Katy Bedford interim youth director. Katy will continue to work with our youth and children until August 26 when she will begin as the Interim Youth Director. We are truly blessed by Katy’s love for our congregation and for our youth. Her continued service offers a stable, loving presence for our teens during this time of transition.

Rita Odom interim director of children’s ministry, beginning Aug. 26. Rita is an elder and member of First Presbyterian Church in Kerrville, but is often in Austin visiting her daughter’s family who happen to be beloved CPC members, Christine and Declan McManus. Before retiring, Rita served churches in the Dallas area including First, Westminster, Preston Hollow and NorthPark. In addition, she has written curriculum for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), for Grace Presbytery, and Mo Ranch summer camps. Rita has two other children and eight grandchildren.

Win Bent, special events manager. We are thrilled that Win will continue to manage SXSW and other special events at the church.

Please note that until we find permanent staff, Win and and Pastor Katheryn will continue on Central Mission, and Brianna and Pastor Katheryn lead the Tuesday Women’s Group. Also, Pastor Katheryn will be the staff liaison to the Deacons.
