Karen Campbell-Miner, Youth Director

Karen Campbell-Miner, Youth Director and Mid-High Leader

Karen moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2011. After growing up active in the mountains of Utah, Karen quickly connected with the Roaring Fork Valley outdoor culture – but she missed the deeper connections she’d experienced in church growing up. In 2012, Karen and her family were drawn to the warmth and familiar feel of Carbondale Community United Methodist Church. There they found a new home in faith, growing and changing with the church. She now lives in New Castle and serves the Roaring Fork Church in Glenwood Springs, volunteering with youth grades 6-12. Karen’s joy is in creating opportunities for young people to find meaningful connection – with self, with God, and with others. When she’s not at work or volunteering, she heads for the hills with her family where she finds her greatest joy…playing in God’s big creation.
