We at First Baptist Church West Memphis are so blessed to have Sarah, Richard, Micah, and Sophie Sagasky to be apart of our church family. Sarah serves as the Next Gen Ministry Assistant, and covers all things Children Ministry related. And there is not a better spot for her, with over 14 years of experience in teaching Kindergarten, which she still does! Her love for kids and their families is evident in all she does. She strives and works so that each child in the Children’s Ministry here at FBCWM is loved and taken care of and learns about the Bible and hears the Gospel in an easy to understand, child friendly way. She works tirelessly to make sure the families at FBCWM are informed and equipped with whatever they need to help their kids grow closer in their walk with Jesus. Her love for these kids is shown in how she loves her own family. She and Richard met while working in the Cracker Barrel here in West Memphis and they have been married since December 2006. They have two awesome kids in Micah and Sophie. Sarah has said that her hobbies are “whatever my kids are doing.” That is who she is though, a family oriented woman who loves to see kids and families grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Bible and to see them grow closer in their walk with the Lord. So when you come to visit, you can rest assured the Sarah will care for your kids like she does her own and they will be in good hands.
