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.

For a long time now, I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to be when I grow up, until it occurred to me the other day that maybe I'm already being it.

From my first babysitting jobs at age 12, to six years a Bible camp counselor, some time as a program director for the Boys and Girls Club, chair of the board for Red Lodge Public Schools, vacation Bible school director, assistant teacher in a day care, and now as a mom, kids (and taking good care of them) have always been a big part of my life.

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.

Hi there.  I hope to meet you soon, maybe on a Sunday morning at worship, maybe at one of the Twelve Events, maybe walking my dachshund around Lake Nokomis, maybe in the halls of Hale or Field Schools where my three kids attend, maybe at a coffee shop or restaurant in the Hale Page Diamond Lake neighborhood where I live, or maybe at one of the many community park centers where I spend a fair amount of time watching my kids in their various sporting events.  If you have another fun place where we could meet, shoot me an email! 

Greetings! I'm Greg Meyer. The one God started working on first to try to start a new kind of church. One that people wouldn't have, but that people were. Since then the vision has become the vision of hundreds of others.
