Inscribed is the quarterly community newsletter of Yellowstone Theological Institute, keeping you informed of recent and future events, as well as faculty and student accomplishments, placement needs, and ongoing development projects.
Mrs. Karen Gilhousen, long-time YTI board member and friend of the institute, passed away on December 22, 2024. In this issue of Inscribed, we remember Karen’s life and legacy.
With Karen’s passing, an era has ended. With Karen and Klein, I learned truly not to judge a person by their checkbook. Her love will always be a part of YTI’s DNA.
When I think of Karen, I remember her deep love for her husband and our church. She led a fulfilling life because she was a dedicated follower of the One who loved her first.
Over the years, I got to know Karen better. Her laugh never changed. It was always loud and infectious. She was just as at home working on the ranch or talking over coffee at the church as she was attending the local opera.
From the first seedling of the idea of a ministry institute, to our tiny first office at the Gilhousens’ ranch, to our permanent campus at “the Barn”, YTI is deeply indebted to Karen and Klein’s vision, generosity, and faithfulness.

Our fall 2024 class was our biggest class yet, and our Spring 2025 class will be even bigger. Students from around the country are catching the YTI bug!
