Kim Pattianakotta

Adult Discipleship Director

Kim cares deeply about helping people feel seen, known, and loved—by God and by their church community. It’s something she knows she’ll always be learning to do well. Her own journey with Jesus began with a life-changing realization: God’s love can never be taken from you (Romans 8:38–39)—not by anything you do or don’t do, anything that happens to you, or anything anyone else has done.

That truth continues to shape how she serves. Kim delights in connecting people to Christ and to a community that helps them grow in faith. Her day-to-day role includes supporting discipleship group leaders in creating welcoming, spiritually rich environments; managing adult ministry events; curating discipleship resources; and teaching Bible studies. She brings two decades of ministry leadership, an undergraduate degree in teaching, and a master’s in the sociology of religion to this work. Kim loves a good theological discussion—but more than anything, she hopes people become convinced of God’s deep love for them and inspired to share it.

While Kim has long called the DMV (DC/Maryland/Virginia) her home, Michigan and the shores of the Great Lakes still speak to her soul—as does her new adventure in parenthood! She and her husband, Victor, are incredibly grateful for the gift of baby Ellie. You’re likely to see them proudly carrying her around VPC and sharing her with the church family. When you meet Kim (and you probably will—she loves meeting new people!), bear with her for the moment—you’re bound to encounter new-parent vibes as she navigates the joyful backaches of having a baby in her forties.
