Vendor Biography

Hi, I’m Christina Durden, and I have been blessed to be on staff as the Director of Children’s Ministry in the local church since 2017. My husband of 16 years, David, is my best friend and supporter in all things. Our greatest blessing is our two children, Jonah, 14, and Jacob, 10, who are the light of my life. Spending time with family has always been one of my favorite things, and I also enjoy music, swimming, beach vacations, and seeking new experiences.

As one of six siblings and dozens of cousins, I have spent the majority of my life in the company of children. As an adult and mom, I somehow still find myself at the kids’ table often during gatherings because I love the innocence, enthusiasm, wonder, and giggles kids provide. I subscribe to Jesus’ teaching that adults can understand more about God and His Kingdom by spending time with children. I believe Jesus values children of all ages, energy levels, and abilities.

I value lifelong learning and recently earned my Bachelor of Business Administration Degree. In my former career teaching both students and instructors as Director of Education at a local cosmetology school, I gained experience planning interactive lessons and managing events. My years behind the chair as a Master Cosmetologist taught me listening skills, creativity, and the importance of personal relationships. I believe all of this was part of God’s plan and helped prepare me for my current role to share the love of Jesus with the next generation.
