Kara Souza

office manager

I grew up in the Magic Valley on a farm. I moved to Boise after graduating high school. I love Boise!
 
I have a son and a daughter who are my pride and joy.
 
God brought me to Red Rock in 2008 and I am so grateful for this community of faith. I oversaw our Outreach Committee for nearly 10 years. I started many programs for helping others that are still supported by the congregation today. This congregation thrives on helping others and every need presented has always been filled quickly.
 
Many years ago, I was the Office Admin for 2 years before I left the position. When the opportunity arose to take the position again, I was happy to accept. I have been back in Red Rock Christian Church’s office since January 2023. I love my job as it allows me to support and care for both our congregation and the community.

Clark Gross

Music coordinator

Clark studied Music Education at BSU and learned of Red Rock's need for a Music Director through BSU. Clark thinks of himself as a jack of all trades and ia able to learn a lot of new things. Clark has done an amazing job at aiding our tech transition in the last two years.
Clark's favorite scripture is Romans 7 because it shows that all people are deserving of love. This is a life lesson he tries to live by. He loves all outdoors activities. Climbing, fishing, and camping are my favorites. He loves the variety of outdoor opportunities Boise offers. He and his partner regularly enjoy much of the surrounding area.
