Staff
Administrator
Sarah Powers

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.
