By Iandra Estupinian–<\/strong>The 2018-2019 school year has come to an end. Now Morningside seniors are preparing to walk the graduation stage and collecting their degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With everything that ends, there must be new\nbeginnings. For these seniors, that means taking that next big step and\nentering the real world to find a job or new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for Krista Waite, her future job is right\nhere on Morningside\u2019s campus in Sioux City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After double majoring in non-profit management with an emphasis in human services and religious studies, Waite has accepted a position as the new Director of Christian Education at Grace United Methodist Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She received the news at the beginning of May\nand has been working closely with the church and Campus Ministry to prepare for\nthe next school year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have been involved with the church and have taught youth group since Fall of 2017,\u201d says Waite. \u201cWhen I officially begin as director in June, I will work with the youth group, Sunday school. Confirmation, and different activities with both young and college students,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace United Methodist Church offers many resources, such as weekend services, work-study, Campus Ministry, Sunday school, Midnight Breakfast, and Bible Study for young adults, college students, and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Grace United offering these services,\nWaite will have a lot of responsibilities, but is confident that her majors\nhave prepared her for this position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe classes that I have taken were more about different religions and had a few lessons in Christianity. I\u2019m not too prepared with Christianity but I think that the Non-Profit Management will help me with the ‘many hats’ portion of the jobs and activities I have to do,\u201d said Waite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waite wants to improve the involvement of the\nyounger generation and Morningside students with the church when school starts\nagain. She believes both students and adults can learn a lot from religion and\nwhat it has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waite is happy to meet with students or adults\nto answer questions about her position or just to have a conversation. She can\nbe found in the youth department of Grace United or you can email her at kaw009@morningside.edu<\/a>\nto schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
