Rev. Sara Martin

Senior Pastor

Meet Sara Martin. She is a fourth-generation
United Methodist, baptized as an infant and confirmed in the faith at 16 years old. Her childhood faith was nurtured by the ordinary saints of the Prague and Arlington United Methodist Churches. Sara has fond memories of Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, youth group, and camp. In the summer of 2014, she heard God calling her to ministry. In response to her growing desire to serve God and neighbor, Sara became a certified lay servant and began serving in her local church.  Reassured of her calling, Sara began her studies as a Wimberly School of Religion Student at Oklahoma City University in 2017. Her undergraduate education includes a B.A in Religious Studies and a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership of the Arts.  This fall, Sara will begin studying at St. Paul School of Theology. She is a ministry candidate pursuing ordination as an Elder. Through a lifetime of Christian education, various leadership opportunities, and six years of discernment, Sara feels affirmed that her calling is the ministry of Word, Sacrament Order, and Service.
