SARAH LEE, Children’s Director
Sarah Lee and her family settled in Siskiyou County in 2022. Not long after, they found a home and family here at The Gathering Mt. Shasta. Sarah's passion for young people began while she still was one, and she has spent time working with foster youth, incarcerated youth, special needs/differently abled, and all of the children in between. She is of the belief that children are also people, and as such, need to be loved, seen, AND heard. Above all, she hopes to consistently encourage them into their own relationship with Jesus, and everything beautiful that flows from that connection.
