Krysten Saurs was born and raised in the greater Seattle area, and from a young age, she was part of ministry as her formative teenage years were shaped by a home missions pastoral family. She attended Christian Life College in the fall of 2013 and graduated with high honors as the valedictorian of her class, majoring in Bible and Theology. Through the years, she has been involved in biblical education at the Purpose Institute, serving on the Washington State Youth Board as a sectional leader, and received her UPCI local license in the spring of 2024. In the summer of 2025, she married her husband, John Saurs. She currently serves on the ministerial team at Renaissance Apostolic Church in Renton, WA, and represents the UPCI Women in Ministry as the West Coast representative. Her passion is pursuing excellence and finding the best iced coffee in town.
