Meet The Committee

Our committee is a dedicated group of faith-driven leaders who help guide and grow our community. Each member brings unique gifts, wisdom, and passion for helping others walk through life’s challenges using the power of God’s Word.

Together, they host our prayer calls, Bible discussions, and community gatherings — creating safe spaces for real conversations, spiritual growth, and connection. Their hearts are united by one mission: to see lives transformed and strengthened through faith, love, and obedience to God.

Leader

Sara Montanez

"My life purpose is to please the Lord.  I desire to be with Him as much as I can. In doing so,  I have learned much about myself and His purpose over my life. Some purposes the Lord has shown me He has for my life are to pray, to speak, to learn, to teach, and overall to obey Him. To spread His Word and spread the good news about His goodness. To love Him and to love Him is to love others. I believe I am to love others with prayer and however else the Lord leads me to love them."
