Pastor Sara joined the pastoral staff in 2021 as Family Pastor. She grew up in Reese MI and now resides in Auburn. The mother of two daughters, Amanda and Madison, Sara loves spending time with them and all of her family. Pastor Sara has always had a deep love for children and earned a Bachelors’ degree in Child Development from Central Michigan University in 1992. She has since worked with children and families in various settings and professions. Pastor Sara especially loves to mentor parents and help them to become the best parents that they can be. She believes that she can care for, love and educate a child well, but if she can help a parent to become a better parent, then that will benefit the child even more.
Pastor Sara has a heart for worship. She volunteers on our worship team playing piano and singing. She is a songwriter and hopes to one day record some of her songs. Leading worship for Christian recovery groups is one of her favorite things to do, “I love being able to minister to others in recovery through music.” She has a passion for ministering to the broken and hurting and has been a part of recovery ministries for many years. Sara believes we all need recovery because we all live in a broken and fallen world and often says, “we are either in recovery or we are in denial.”
“I am excited to be a part of an organization that is helping so many people in the community and hope to positively impact the lives of children and families and share the love of Jesus in all I do.”
