Andrea Colias, Community Relations Coordinator

Just when The Christian Center determined the need for a Community Relations Coordinator, is about the same time that Andrea Colias decided to relocate to Anderson from Illinios. With an educational background in Political Science, Public Administration, Spanish and a certificate in non-profit management, some would call Andrea's application for the job a lovely coincidence. Andrea calls it God's wonderful orchestration.

In addition to management of the Community Assistance program, Andrea's responsibilites include guest reception, grant research and writing. Andrea is also the resident "keeper of the keys."

Her enthusiasm for her job is bouyed by a vision for increased ministry expressed by leadership at The Christian Center. Andrea says, "It's bigger than we can imagine, but not bigger than God can imagine. The potential for growth here is phenominal!"

Andrea brings a wonderful open-mindedness to her position and a philosophy of bringing together the best ideas that can benefit the ministries of The Christian Center, its clients, employees, and the surrounding community.
