Christina Wood Baker

   Christina first learned about the Redeemer from Dick Downes. He was the chaplain at St. Albans in Washington D.C. where her husband, Malcolm, went to high school, and he married Christina and Malcolm in 1995.
     After Christina and Malcolm settled in Newton with their two children, they wanted to join a local church community, and the Redeemer was the obvious choice because of all the wonderful things they had heard about the parish.
     Christina and her family began attending the Redeemer regularly in 2005. Christina's two children, Eloise and Colin, quickly became involved with both Sunday School and Children's Choir. Christina was quickly involved in helping support the choir program in any way possible. She subsequently served on the Church School Committee and has volunteered and chaired committees for the Christmas Market.
        For two summers, Christina helped coordinate the Redeemer's week of supporting the B-SAFE summer camp program. Christina is a clinical psychologist, specializing in the treatment of eating and weight disorders, and in her (rare!) free time, she loves to run, do yoga, hike, take photographs and spend time with family and friends.
