Sarah Lawton is a graduate of William Kelley High School in Silver Bay, MN, Beloit College, Beloit, WI, and Claremont School of Theology in Claremont, CA and a former Peace Corps Volunteer.  She is delighted to return as an adult to the North Shore.  Perhaps Lake Superior called her home to be renewed from the inside out in order to continue in strength and wisdom for the work that is ahead.  There is work to do to fulfill God’s dreams for us, to “do justice, love kindness and walk with God” on this good earth.  And, this is indeed the most beautiful place on the planet to live and work together!

Sarah lives on the West Side of Duluth with her two dogs, Franklin and Yuri, the cutest dogs in the world.  Sarah thinks being a pastor is the best job in the world because, as Nadia Bolz-Weber said once, “being a pastor means being a human being.”  And, Sarah enjoys being human.
