Welcome Pastor Sara Faulhafer!

Pastor Sara commenced her duties on Sunday August 16, 2009 at the 10:00 a.m. service and was warmly welcomed by the Bethany congregation. Pastor Sara hails from a farming community in North Easthope Township and grew up on a "Century Farm". From there, Pastor Sara went to Sault College in Sault Ste. Marie for a diploma in Parks & Outdoor Recreation, and did one year of pre-seminary university studies at St. Mary's University in Halifax, before proceeding to Waterloo Lutheran Seminary for a Master of Divinity. During and in-between times Pastor Sara worked, lived and volunteered in Northern Ontario, Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Alberta. Through involvement in the World Council of Churches Faith & Order Plenary Commission and the W.C.C. Echos Youth in the Ecumenical Movement Commission, Sara has spent time in Brazil, Switzerland, India and Greece. Pastor Sara has worked in outreach, community building, and chaplaincy, which has endowed her with passions for ecumenism, creative, engaging worship, a strong sense of social justice and a deep desire to create welcoming communities. Join us and Pastor Sara as we work together as a community to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ, to all who hunger and thirst.
