Sarah has been attending Jacob's Well since Ana and Peter Elliason invited her to Field in 2009.  Sarah works at the University of Minnesota in the Center for Epidemiology and Community Health, and greatly enjoys discussing adult education, health promotion research, complementary and alternative medicine, public transportation and urban development with anyone interested in those topics as well.

Hi there!  I landed at Jacob's Well late 2008 after we had moved to Minneapolis and "church shopped" for over a year.  What did Jacob's Well have that we hadn't found elsewhere?  a sense of honesty, openness, friendliness, and caring.  The one phrase that Greg often uses  is "At Jacob's Well,  we have more questions than answers and we'll help you ask the RIGHT questions"... that felt right to me.

I grew up in South Minneapolis, went to Southwest highschool - (not telling when I graduated)! I traveled west to South Dakota and graduated from Augustana College with a degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. After College, I came back to the Twin Cities and worked for a number of years for Homeward Bound, a home for multiply handicapped children and then as a Regional Director for ClubKid.   Before beginning Jacob's Well, I was the Director of Early Childhood Ministry at Bethlehem Lutheran developing minstry for kids 2 -  Kindergarten and their families.
