Kari Jo Cates
Director of Welcome and Engagement

Kari Jo moved to the City in 1996 as an starry-eyed newlywed. From the beginning, Redeemer's ministries have shaped her understanding of the gospel and the city. Hosting and leading Community Groups since she and her husband, Cory, first arrived years is one of the central parts of her family's life. She's held many roles at Redeemer both formal, as a Community Group Coordinator, and volunteer, including Deaconess, Trustee, Mom's Group Director and West Side Women founder and leader. Additionally, she is honored to serve on the faculty of City Seminary of New York in Harlem, where she is currently completing her MA in Ministry in the Global City. As a creative outlet and to make ends meet while her husband was in grad school, Kari Jo built her own calligraphy business, citywrites. The hardest and most rewarding job she's ever held, actually, is raising her four children — Nathan, Henry, Caroline and Betsy. Don't be surprised if you see Kari Jo speeding by on a Citibike on her way to the Redeemer offices where she's eagerly exploring ways to connect people to God and to each other within our Downtown congregation.
Eunice Chang Anderson
Community Group Coordinator

As a native of the tri-state area, Eunice has spent much of her life in the various suburbs of New York City. Before joining Redeemer, Eunice practiced law in a corporate law firm and a non-profit organization. She is excited to now be a part of a team dedicated to fostering community and a sense of being known in a large city and a large church. Eunice also serves as a deaconess and, in her free time, likes to take in the arts offered by the city, do craft projects and try any kind of frozen dessert.
Rev. Charles Chung
Pastoral Resident

Charles is better known as “Cheech.” He was born and raised in Brooklyn. In 2010, he asked Christina to be his girlfriend three times before she said, “Yes.” They’ve been married since August 2015. He graduated from Cairn University with a Bachelors in Bible and a Bachelors of Social Work. A short time after, he was led to Westminster Theological Seminary to study theology and received a Masters in Divinity. He loves and reps NYC because of the diverse people, cultures and foods. Cheech loves all sports from local-known handball to basketball and everything in between. He is also a self-renown, amateur photographer and videographer.

Paige Gebert
Children’s Ministry Administrative coordinator

A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Paige moved to New York City five years ago with her husband, Joseph, and has lived everywhere from Crown Heights to FiDi to the Upper West Side. As a part of our Children’s Ministry, Paige loves interacting with kids and being involved in their lives during the early developmental years to plant the seeds for growth.
Since attending Redeemer Downtown, Paige has noticed the congregation’s commitment to developing and growing a thriving community. She regularly attends a community group, serves on the communion team and is involved in the Gotham Fellowship.
Paige also enjoys snowboarding, working out, coffee dates, walking around the city and traveling to warm destinations (with a beach). Her favorite places around the Downtown area are Mad Dog and Bean on Stone Street, plus Industry Kitchen, with its view of the Brooklyn Bridge. If you ever need a haircut, Paige is also a hairstylist, and if you ever need someone to operate heavy machinery, she also knows how to manage a construction site!

Andrés F. Quintero
Youth Ministry Manager

Andrés Quintero moved to New York City from Colombia with his wife and two boys in February of 2011. He first learned about Redeemer while living in Colombia. While waiting on line in the grocery store, he found himself in the self-help area, where a copy of “Reason for God” caught his eye. He remembers telling his wife that he wished to join a church as stimulating as the message in the book. Little did he know a few months later he would be moving to NYC and calling Redeemer home. Though an architect by training, Andrés has been involved in the fashion industry for more than ten years. Upon moving to New York, he worked as senior designer for LeSportsac. Most recently, he and his wife launched their own leather handbag line, Min and Mon, inspired by the names of their sons, Benjamin and Simon. Andrés and his family joined Redeemer Downtown in its early days. Andrés has served as a Community Group leader and Beta leader. Now being an entrepreneur, he has the opportunity to explore vocational ministry, which is a dream come true! For fun, Andrés loves illustrating picture books and would never turn down an offer to play tennis.
