Matthew 25 Forum : December 2026

Matthew 25 Forum: “I was sick and you took care of me”

December 6th, 9:15am

Fellowship Hall

This year, the Kirk has hosted a series of Matthew 25 Forums where we explored what it means to encounter Christ as he commanded: among the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the incarcerated.

On Sunday, December 6th, our final forum of the year will address mental health care. We will be joined by Dr. Micah Krempasky, Chief Medical Officer for Mental Health & Well-Being at WakeMed.

A board-certified psychiatrist, Dr. Krempasky leads system-wide efforts to expand access to mental health care while also serving patients. Under Dr. Krempasky’s leadership, WakeMed has broken ground on a new mental health hospital in Garner that will specialize in trauma-informed care.

Before joining WakeMed in 2021, Dr. Krempasky spent 11 years as a psychiatrist at Mission Health in Asheville, where she also served as Senior Patient Safety Officer. She earned her medical degree from East Tennessee State University’s Quillen College of Medicine. She completed her psychiatry residency and served as Chief Resident at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Dr. Krempasky received The Business Journal’s 2023 Health Care Leadership Award.
