Katy Christian Ministries (KCM) announced on June 10 the appointment of Virginia Gonzalez as Chief Executive Officer and Deitric Johnson as Chief Financial Officer, effective June 1.

“These appointments mark a pivotal step in strengthening KCM’s professional and passionate leadership team, ensuring the continued delivery of transformative services to the community,” said a press release from the organization. “With a legacy spanning 41 years, KCM has significantly grown in its mission to transform lives through God’s grace and the generosity of the community.”

Virginia Gonzalez has extensive experience of running nonprofit organizations, having previously served as Executive Director of the West Texas chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Her leadership and vision have been instrumental in driving impactful initiatives within charitable sectors, said a KCM spokesperson. Reflecting on her appointment, Gonzalez said, “I am honored for the opportunity to lead this incredible organization. In West Houston, our community sees parents with children lining up in their cars at 3:30 a.m. in the dark to receive food from our food bank. For the families and victims of abuse we support, we are often their last hope of help. There is no more important mission, and I am grateful for the support of our community to be able to provide them with help.”

Deitric Johnson joins KCM with a strong background in nonprofit financial and operational leadership. He previously served as CFO of Gamaliel Foundation, where he successfully managed complex financial operations to ensure organizational sustainability and growth. His expertise will be instrumental in advancing KCM’s financial strategies and operational goals.

KCM’s Board President Don Flowers expressed the board’s enthusiasm for the appointments. “The board is delighted to confirm these two extremely strong leadership appointments at KCM,” he said. “Working with our community and churches, we are excited to see KCM expand and increase the support it provides to some of the most vulnerable in our community.”
