Jason Foster (right) – Oakland city director

Kim Foster (left) – San Francisco city director

Kim was born in the Bay Area and raised in Northern California so she’s gone home. Kim has an undergraduate degree from CSU in Business Administration and graduate degree in Biblical Studies from Multnomah. Jason grew up in the Salt Lake area and has a youth ministry degree from Trinity International University. They are currently making their home in the Oakland area. The last few years have found the Fosters working with deploying short–term mission teams overseas, so their experience prepares them well for CSM.

When you ask Jason and Kim why they would want to come serve Jesus in CSM they both have no hesitation in saying, “It’s the perfect fit. We get to work with youth and youth workers, which we believe is our calling and then on top of that we get to serve in the city among under–served people”.

Tara Tremblay – Oakland associate city director

Tara is originally from Attleboro, MA and graduated in May 2008 from Newbury College bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Tara organized short-term mission trips at college for three years (Habitat for Humanity excursions). She has been involved with youth in many capacities but has mostly counseled at-risk youth and helped with after school programs that promote higher education. Tara is blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of starting the first Christian Ministry at her college. Tara enjoys fun nail polish, going out to eat, the sunshine, morning devotionals, coffee shops, laser tag, picnics and going to the gym. She has been given a heart that thrives in the city so urban ministry, which is something so important to society, comes naturally to her. “I want to share the relationship I have with God with those I encounter in the city. Since CSM does a great job bridging the gap between urban and rural communities and ministries, I think this experience will help me to bridge the gap between the East and West.”
