Mrs. Kurien has been teaching at Bethany Christian Academy since 1999. 

Mrs. Kurien was born in India and came to the United States in 1984. Her husband was a Christian, but Mrs. Kurien didn't think that it could be as easy as just accepting Jesus as her Savior, because she had been taught that you had to do good works to be saved. She always felt like something was missing. However, in 1996, Mrs. Kurien was led to the Lord by her daughter and a Christian minister. Since then, she has had so much joy and freedom in Christ.

In 2017, Mrs. Kurien and her husband were able to help found a Bible college in South Asia.

Education: Mrs. Kurien has a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry with a minor in botany and zoology and a Master of English Literature degree form Bhopal University in India. She has a second Master of Education degree from Concordia University.
