From assisting our pastoral staff, to coordinating events, to handling outreach, and heading up our nursery and preschool classes, Sadie is key to providing all that's necessary to dot the "i’s" and cross the "t" in ministry here at Family Church.


Sadie most enjoys her position at Family Church as it allows her to minister in a variety of ways-- "I get the opportunity to pray for, love, connect with, and serve other people. This is what I GET to do. It doesn't feel like a job to me. I show up every day just as excited as the day before to see how God can work through me to reach others."


On her own time, when Sadie is not getting her nails done or shopping, you can find her busy taking care of their new-born little boy, taking walks around their neighborhood, and cheering her husband, Trent, on in Branson as he plays guitar at his shows.
