Living With Purpose In Community With Christina Hite

In this weeks episode we are talking with Christina Hite about what it looks like to live purposely in community. Christina is married to Dustin, her college sweetheart, and mom of Kristin & Kaylynn (ages 9 & 10). An ordained Mennonite Pastor with a background in Marriage & Family Therapy, Christina has a passion for walking with people as they navigate life's joys and sorrows.  Christina & Dustin who are both originally from Central Illinois, felt called to move to Austin, Texas in August of 2020 to be part of a one-of-a-kind neighborhood, Community First! Village. This village filled with tiny homes, not only houses those who are chronically homeless, but also focuses on the most important aspect of mitigating homelessness - providing an opportunity for true community and connectedness for all who live there.  The Hites moved in as Missional Neighbors and launched a brand new ministry - A Faithful Presence where they provide pastoral care, spiritual direction, friendship, and intentional neighboring for all who call the Village home.  When she's not working at A Faithful Presence, Christina is working as the Communications Director of Foster Village, a local non-profit that equips, connects, and advocates for families and children who are connected to foster care.  Christina and Dustin have homeschooled their girls for the last three school years and love the flexibility of their non-traditional life in the Village.
