Hi! My name is Peter Ugochukwu Yovo. I’m from Delta State, Nigeria. I grew up the 5th of 6 children in Lagos State, Nigeria; and my parents are well and still gracefully married. I came to the United States on August 22nd, 2014, to obtain my MDiv in Ministry Leadership from Moody Theological Seminary, Chicago, Illinois, and graduated in 2019. Also, in 2019, I met and got married to my beautiful wife, Megan, and together, we both parent our beautiful daughter, Eden.


My family and I are so blessed to serve alongside the McCook E-Free Church staff team and family as the Oberlin Campus Pastor. We are so excited to serve the Oberlin community and bless them with the grace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Administrator

Sarah Powers

spowers@mccookefree.org

Hi! I’m Sarah! My husband, Adam, and I are raising our 3 kids, Isaiah, Liam, and Anaiah, in our hometown, McCook. I have a diverse business background which has equipped me with a variety of skills and knowledge that I’m excited to put to use in the church. My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a focus on Management and Leadership. 

 

While I enjoy the business pieces of the church, my real joy comes from seeing Jesus transform lives. There is nothing better and no greater honor than to be able to walk with someone as they encounter Jesus and learn to trust and follow him! One of my favorite areas to serve is on our church mission teams and with the Perspectives course.

Cambridge Campus Director

Kim Huxoll

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence, to excellence, knowledge; to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, brotherly affection; to brotherly affection, unselfish love. For if these things are really yours and are continually increasing, they will keep you from becoming ineffective and unproductive in your pursuit of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ more intimately. ~2 Peter 1:5-8

In all your ways submit to him and he will direct your paths. ~Proverbs 3:6
