Rev. ​Kathryn Ray became a member of North Shore's pastoral team in 2016.  As Pastor of Discipleship, she oversees programming for the youth and children of the church, as well as adult education. She also provides worship leadership in English and Spanish and oversees the church's online communication.  

​Kathryn received two Master's degrees from the University of Chicago, one from the Divinity School and the other from the School of Social Service Administration. She is a fluent Spanish speaker, having taught religion classes to children and teens and tutored special needs students in Bilwi, Nicaragua from 2009-2011 through the Capuchin Franciscan Volunteer Corps. In 2015, she was ordained to Christian ministry at Ellis Avenue Church, a racially and economically diverse Alliance of Baptists congregation on Chicago's South Side.  In May 2016, the American Baptist of Metro Chicago voted to grant recognition of her ordination, which now gives her full standing with the American Baptist Churches, USA.  Before beginning full time at North Shore, she also served as program coordinator for Clergy for a New Drug Policy, a non-profit which fights to end the War on Drugs and establish evidence- and compassion-based drug policy in the United States. 

Kathryn is a scholar emeritus of the State of Formation blog, and her writing has also been featured on OnFaith. 

​La Pastora Kathryn Ray se agregó al equipo pastoral de North Shore en 2016.  Como la pastora del discipulado, supervisa la programación para jovenes y niños de la iglesia, y coordina los programas de educación cristiana para adultos.  También ofrece liderazgo en los servicios de español e inglés, y supervisa el ministerio de las medias sociales.  Sacó dos maestrías de la Universidad de Chicago, una en divinidades y la otra en el trabajo social.  Antes de llegar a North Shore, daba clases de religión y clases particulares a niños y jóvenes en Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua.
