Pastor Sara Charlton grew up in a non-Christian home and came to know the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ at the age of 19, while attending North Park University as a biology/pre-med major. Through the mentorship and discipleship of a Covenant pastor, she came to know the call placed on her life to “not heal people’s bodies but heal people’s souls.”
She switched majors in her senior year of her undergraduate program, and applied to attend North Park Theological Seminary, after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in History.
Pastor Sara has served churches in three states before moving to Pennsylvania. She loves exploring the community she lives in, and has recommendations for coffee shops in Yakima, WA; McPherson, KS; and Millersburg, OH, if anyone decides to visit any of those locations.
When Pastor Sara is not pastoring or serving on the Executive Board of the Great Lakes Conference, her hobbies include cooking and baking, visiting local zoos, hiking, reading cozy mysteries, and spoiling her niece, Emma.
