Pastor Sarah heard the undeniable call to this ministry in 2016. Realizing God had been preparing her for this ministry for at least 20 years, she accepted the call and has been joyfully serving as the Children’s Pastor ever since. Sarah became ordained in 2022 and she oversees all Children’s ministries at NLCOG. Some of which include; Sunday school, Release time, KFC (Kids For Christ), Children’s worship team, Vacation Bible School (VBS), and Jr Camp in the summer. All that, and she's still always there to minister to those who need to just talk one-on-one and to work with families.
Sarah LOVES God and she LOVES children. :) :) :) One of her favorite things to do is to help others learn how to use and understand their Bible. She loves to share Jesus with others and encourage them to share Him as well. Another favorite part of the job is just talking with kids and answering questions together. She's passionate about equipping others for ministry, both children AND adults. She recognizes spiritual gifts in others and LOVES encouraging them to develop those gifts further, step out of their comfort zone and try new things.
Pastor Sarah has been married to her husband Mike for 34 years. They have 3 children, Haley married to Derek, Melissa, and Jesse. 3 super-duper grandkids, Alexandra, Harper, and Jayden, AND a barnyard of critter friends. Sarah believes with a joyful heart, we can always find something to celebrate because God gives good gifts every day.
Celebrate and share JESUS JOY with everyone!
