Kaia is a lifelong Sioux Falls resident with a deep love for people. She has loved the heart of The Point since its inception and is excited to partner with kids and families through KidsServe! Kaia's greatest desire for her daughter is that she would know Jesus; and that's her hope and prayer for the KidsServe ministry at The Point - that through every wonderful volunteer, each fun, interactive Sunday lesson, and all of the special events throughout the year would ultimately point kids to Jesus. Kaia likes playing at parks with her husband and daughter, going on walks, doing graphic design, drinking chai lattes, and helping people buy and sell houses as a licensed realtor. She is thrilled to be part of the team at The Point!
