Katy has completed a bachelors in Business with minors in Mass Communications and Economics from the University of Florida, and a Masters in Divinity from Columbia and University of Dubuque seminaries. Amongst her social contacts, it became clear, that there were inadequate venues for spiritual exploration for people who didn't feel like they fit or didn't feel welcome in churches. From this consensus, an idea was born for Missing Peace. A place where doubter and disciple could both gather for spiritual practices, physical activities, cerebral discussions, and serving opportunities. To do this, they began meeting in August of 2015 as a nomadic community of sorts that would gather weekly and travel the area seeking these different experiences in order to connect with each other and the divine in meaningful ways.
