OUR STAFF
TRISH VAN LOH
Director of KATC Weekday Preschool
I have been dedicated to the KATC Weekday Preschool at CATC since 1988 and have been the director since 2001. Through my love and passion for children, I strive to create a Christ-centered environment where each child can encounter Jesus. I enjoy connecting with and encouraging parents during their child’s early childhood experience at KATC. Working alongside my staff weekly is a joy! I have been married to my husband, Larry, for 41 years. I have two daughters, two sons-in-law, and enjoy spoiling five precious grandchildren and one dog. We have been members of Church at the Cross since 1985.

My husband, Craig, and I have been married for 20 years. We have three children who are involved in sports and school activities and we are loving every minute of it!
