Meet Rev. NateThe Rev. Nathan's first call was with a wonderful community and feels delighted and blessed to have been called to serve another at Prince of Peace.
"I'm not exactly new to the area, but it's been a while since I've been here so it feels both like coming back and finding something new; I am excited for the adventure ahead." Pastor Nate's Bible verse of choice is 1 Thess. 2:8, "So deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us." It's his favorite verse because it recognizes the profound value of a faith active in love, and how sharing God's love for the world also means knowing your neighbors and being known by them. As such, Pastor Nate (or Pastor Nathan, or just Nate, if you prefer) will be doing a lot of learning about the history, culture, and life of Prince of Peace and the larger Silicon Valley with his whole family. |
Meet Rev. SaraRev. Sara was ordained in 2011 (the day before her spouse Nate she likes to remind him), and served her first call in rural Wisconsin. Her and Nate began work as co-pastors in 2015 at PoP and Sara loves the unique challenges and opportunities that exist in a place like Silicon Valley where change and adaptability are part of the culture.
Sara’s work with and for PoP revolves around community outreach and connections. She deeply loves the ways that PoP sees needs and responds to them, and the ways that we as a church partner with other houses of worship, community organizations, and members’ gifts to make our community and world a more just and loving place. As an extrovert, Sara loves community gatherings, meals and worship. But she also feels church is at its best when it is acting as Christ’s hands and feet in the world (as St Teresa of Avila penned). When Sara has free time she loves to be outside playing—in the ocean, out on the trails, or in their neighborhood with her two young kids. She is fueled by her deep love of community and, coffee. |
