Jose Arellano joined the Sabine Creek team in 2005. Originally hired to build a kitchen, he volunteered to prepare dinner for a group staying at the Ranch after they evacuated New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina.  That meal revealed his great talents as a chef!  He now wears many hats at the camp, and is an integral part of the team! He and his wife, Irma, have three adult children and reside in Royse City.

Karen didn’t grow up in Texas, but, as the saying goes, she got here as fast as she could.  She has two grown sons and came to Sabine Creek in 2016. She loves working with our incredible staff in an environment in which the goal is to share the love of Christ with everyone who visits. In her spare time, she loves to knit, work on home projects, and travel. Why is she called Ms. B? Ms. Buttersworth of course, because she is so SWEET!
