Jenny Karraker

Jenny Karraker split her childhood between Virginia and Ohio, but she and her husband, John (elder candidate), spent most of their adult lives on the East Coast working with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU). The Karrakers have been in Indianapolis since 2019, working with CRU to reach university faculty in the city. They came to Redeemer that same year. There are many things Jenny loves about Redeemer. A few of them include their community group, working with the younger children at church, and the weekly communion.  

Jenny came to faith at the age of 10 through her church’s VBS. She feels called to the work of the Women’s Shepherding Team because it is an opportunity to sit with and care for people in good and bad times. As an empty nester, she feels this is a unique time in life for her to step into this ministry. 

In her free time, Jenny loves spending time outside gardening or visiting local parks with her grandkids. She enjoys going to Indianapolis Indians baseball games and trying new restaurants around town.
