Pastor Sarah Taylor was baptized at First Lutheran Church in Springfield, Ohio, when she was in first grade. She studied physics in college and spent summers running day camps with Lutheran Outdoor Ministries in Ohio. She attended Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina, and on graduation was assigned to the Southwestern Minnesota Synod. She spent twelve years serving mostly multiple-point parishes (a total of 10 congregations!) before accepting a call at Trinity. She spends a lot of her free time looking for birds, counting birds, and trying to identify birds.
