Senior Pastor & Head of Staff

Rev. Sarah Speed

(On parental leave until January)

I am a seventh generation Presbyterian pastor, raised on sweet tea and in the hallways of the church. Those who know me well would describe me as a doer, an optimist, a bookworm, and an extrovert. To that list I would add early bird, Enneagram three, and a deeply hopeful Christian.

I am the proud daughter of Tom and Carol Are, and the grateful sister of Nathan Are (who lives in Kansas City!). On my days off, I love to spend my time reading, writing and getting outside, but nothing brings me more joy than time with my sweetheart- Ryan Speed.

Professionally, I have had the honor of serving two incredible congregations over the last seven years. In those years I have grown even more convinced that the Spirit is alive in community, that the church can make a difference, and that God is more expansive than I could possibly know.
