Judah Support Staff


 Educating. Inspiring.   
Impacting the World.   


Karen Combs
Computer and Office Assistant

I joined the staff in 2008 and I am in charge of helping with the computers on campus. I help make sure that they are all up to date, running correctly and help trouble shoot any problems that the faculty and staff have with their computers and contact our off sight tech personal to come in when needed. I am also in charge of the all school fall fund raiser and help assist in the office when needed. 
 
My husband Tim and I have two daughters who graduated from Judah Christian School. I attend Windsor Road Christian Church and enjoy reading and sewing.


Kimberly Durst
Recess Monitor

I joined the Judah staff in 2004, as a lunch recess supervisor for kindergarten through sixth grade. Since I started at Judah I have taken numerous hours of early childhood development courses as well as attended conferences concentrating on Autism and early childhood handwriting. Along with lunch recess supervision, I substitute teach in the preschool. I have also had the privileged opportunity to teach in the first year of preschool summer camps here at Judah. It is a joy to work in the preschool, and then know and care for those same children through 6th grade.
 
I am an active member at First Church of the Nazarene here in Champaign. I have been happily married to my husband Aaron for 17 years. I have two children, both who have attended Judah from preschool to the present. Brooklynn, is in 6th grade, and Phillip is in 2nd. In my spare time I enjoy cooking/baking, camping, reading, attending my daughter’s basketball games, and being involved in my son’s Cub Scout activities. I am proud to serve here at Judah, as I believe that Judah offers a Godly staff invested in the practical and spiritual education and development of our children. Plus I get to see my children every day!

I joined the Judah staff in 1995 and I am in charge of registration and keeping the attendance records for all K-12 Judah students. I am also responsible for sending out transcripts, maintaining all medical records and assisting in the office when needed.
