Terra Brimberry
Terra and her husband, Don, came to ANC in 2018 after searching for a church family that had an expansive table for all to join. She has always been active in a local church and grew up as an MK (Missionary Kid) in Seoul, Korea, and then a PK (Preacher’s Kid) in West Texas. In spite of their more conservative background, her parents taught her the true meaning of God's grace and instilled in her a love for people, a passion for equality, and a heart for hospitality. Terra has two wonderful adult children and an amazing son-in-law. She started her career as a Social Worker, and now works in Account Management for a software company.
Christina Hite
Dustin & Christina Hite along with their two daughters, immediately joined ANC when they moved to Austin in 2020 to be intentional neighbors at Community First! Village. They live in a cozy 399 sq ft home and have a passion for creating spaces of healing and belonging. The Hites lead A Faithful Presence, a small non-profit that sustains the trauma-informed, Jesus-centered neighboring they get to do. Christina works part-time as Communications Specialist for Foster Village, a local nonprofit that serves families experiencing foster care, and Dustin is a trained spiritual director, as well as a volunteer chaplain at the county jail. Before coming to ANC, Dustin & Christina co-pastored a small, progressive, interdenominational church in Peoria, IL.
Sue Kratochvil
Sue Kratochvil and her husband Jim Talbot spent years in leadership in their local United Methodist Church in Bastrop county, east of Austin. Lifelong allies of their LGBTQ+ friends, they witnessed their local church become more conservative & exclusionary. They sought out ANC and joined in April 2020.
Sue was widowed in 2021. She has worked for the past 13 years for Progressive Insurance and coordinates rewards & recognition nationwide for their commercial lines employees. She writes the occasional benediction, is on the greeters’ team, and counts some of her best friends among the people of ANC.
