Kristen Scheyder, Senior Warden
Kristen lives in Rye, NY with her husband and three sons and joined the St. Thomas community in 2010, where she found the welcoming and inclusive faith community she had been seeking for her family. She was formally received into the Episcopal Church in 2019 alongside her middle son, who was confirmed at the same time.
Kristen has been a community development practitioner for over 25 years, with experience in the banking, government and nonprofit sectors.
She currently works for Citi Foundation, where she helps municipalities and not-for-profit organizations develop programs focused on creating greater economic opportunity for under-served communities across the United States.
During COVID, Kristen has finally mastered her whole wheat sourdough bread baking recipe, knit multiple sweaters for each member of her family and rediscovered her love of sewing and quilting.
When not telecommuting, baking or crafting, you’ll most likely run into her jogging around Mamaroneck or Rye with her black Labrador, Frannie, a brood for Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
