My name is Shelby Dickson and I love FPC! The children and youth are the heart of the church and I love every moment of my time with them! I started with FPC in 2014; the other hours of my weeks are spent working as a school counselor. In my spare time I enjoy time with my husband, Jacob, dog, Cooper, and being with my family! 

Britton is a life-long Presbyterian, a mother, and a pediatric neurologist, with a special interest in helping the children of the church foster a relationship with God and with one another.  

My name is Becca Karber and I was born and raised in Salina. I have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and work as a Para-Educator at Bennington Grade School. I am currently working towards a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from Fort Hays State. In my spare time I enjoy staying active, reading, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. 

My name is Briana and I'm 32 years old. I have been married for two years and have a stepson who is 13 years old. My husband and I also recently adopted a puppy and are working on being licensed foster parents. I work for the local youth program "Xcel" and am working on getting my Master's Degree in Youth Development. I'm excited to get some more experience with the younger kiddos and meet more people within the community!

I have been a church organist for 42 years, 10 of which I have been fortunate enough to enjoy at First Presbyterian Church. My life revolves around making music in worship, cooking, gardening, and especially enjoying my family which includes 2 little fur babies, Clara and Rosie. 

I listen to (and love) many different styles and genres of music. However, when I need my faith affirmed, I seek out the Gloria from Bach's Mass in B minor. The man's faith was simply uncompromising.
