About Us

Paul has been part of KSBC & SLCF since returning from Italy in 1997 and serves as an Elder at Kossuth Street Baptist Church and also serves as the staff coach of our Outreach Team at SLCF.\

Paul teaches regularly in the International Connections class, seeks to mobilize God's people at KSBC in reaching the world coming to us at Purdue, oversees the Campus Ministry, works with the Membership process, and preaches on occasion. Seeing Gospel opportunities and training God's people to be involved in them so that the church can reflect brightly the glory of the One who loved her and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25) is one of the reasons Paul enjoys serving as an elder at KSBC.

Sarah serves as the staff coach for the Discipleship team of SLCF, leads one-on-one Bible studies, and loves hosting students in her home.

Hi! I’m Sarah! God used godly parents and gospel-preaching churches, to draw me to Himself as a child and to grow in me a heart to share the gospel cross-culturally. After graduating from Purdue in the department of Child Development and Family Studies, I attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago to get my Masters in Biblical studies. I spent 2 years in North Africa teaching at an international school, building relationships with neighbors, and serving in the local church.

Since 2008, I’ve had the incredible privilege of working with college and international students through the ministry of Salt and Light Christian Fellowship at Kossuth Street Baptist Church. I also enjoy spending time with foster kids, supporting families with kids with special needs, and teaching elementary-age Sunday school. Reading, cooking, long walks, and conversations with friends are some of my favorites!
