Daughter, Tanya Michener, married to Matt, a graphic artist, and they have one son, Levi, age four and soon will welcome another child. Tanya teaches at Indian Hills Community College and trouble shoots computers for a bank in Oskaloosa. Christine deeply believes in God and His influence in her life. She loves people as well as the whys of knowledge. She enjoys enabling people, but she is turned off if people don't put out any effort.
Effort is the soil of learning.
She believes that attitude determines who she is, thus, she has chosen to overcome background difficulties and lack of personal abilities throughout her life. Christine deeply believes that every individual ministers for Jesus and to each other. Individuals then create a church body which reaches out as a loving unit to the unchurched. She believes one strength of our denomination is the unique blend of ministries offered by rural, small, mid-size, and large churches which balance their ministry among church maintenance, evangelism, mission, and spiritual growth opportunities. In addition, she serves as a Certified Lay Speaker and speaks at the Unionville United Methodist Church every other week.
