Leadership Team

Having a great program team is only part of the equation. Our staff are supported by a strong leadership team, with the experience and resources to teach, supervise, and assist staff as challenges arise.

  • Kristian Wold

    Executive Director

    All of us at Kuriakos are extending a warm welcome to Rev. Kristian Wold as he joins our community in a new role. We look forward to the ministry we will do together. Kristian's experience in ministry has him well-positioned to guide Kuriakos' philosophy and growth.

  • Paul Kopjar

    Acting Executive Director

    Paul has been involved in the Kuriakos community for many years.

    Programming, staffing, marketing, administration, he does it all.

    Have a question? I bet Paul knows the answer.


  • Program Director

    Kendra has a long history in camp ministry, having worked at 8 other camps before joining our full-time team. Included in that, Kendra served as an intern here at Kuriakos in the fall of 2011. Kendra's passion is to see children, youth and families grow in their faith, and to assist young leaders as they develop.


  • Pam Ropcean

    Property Director

    We appreciate her vastly superior construction skills (at least compared to the rest of us) and her attention to detail when caring for our facilities.


    Do you have skills or time to offer?

    I'm sure Pam would love to connect if you have skills or time!

“I came to Kuriakos with no idea what I was getting into, but I found so much more than I could have imagined.  I have experienced incredible community here: from strong mentors as well as my fellow interns, I have learned so much that I will use in future outdoor ministry positions and anywhere else God takes me.”   --Katie Bode, 2012 intern
