Kari Casteel
I consider it an exciting honor to be able to serve as the AZ WIML Director! Ever since I was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit at 12 years old, I have had a longing to be right in the midst of the amazing work God does. And so it is with joy that I help facilitate God’s working in your life through the ministry of WIML.
I have served as a pastor to children, youth, and young adults. Currently, I serve alongside my husband, Andrew, as the Co-Lead Pastor of Grace Chapel in Tempe, AZ. I love people, preaching, leading, building teams, creative projects, and adventures in ministry.
Andrew and I have been happily married for 31 years! Still can’t believe it myself. We are blessed with 7 children, 2 sons-in-law, and 4 adorable grandkids. I’ve invested most of those 31 years in my kids' education as a homeschool mom. The homeschool accomplishment most precious to my heart is having been able to teach each of them to read.
I graduated from WIML in 2018 with such encouragement and clarity of purpose that I have been able to step into God’s plans for me with confidence. God has shown Himself faithful as I've answered the call to preach, teach, lead, and pastor.
My hope and prayer for you is that you receive the same clarity and encouragement that empowers you to confidently step into your future! I am cheering you on!
