Sarah Rumbolz
Kids Director
Hello! I'm Sarah Rumbolz, the Children's Director at Living Water Fellowship. I'm a mother to three wonderful children: Avah (14), Fisher (13), and Owen (5). I've been married to my husband, Bo, for 15 years. Leading LWF Kids is a privilege, allowing me to share the love of Jesus with our youngest members.
I often say, “Love is a Ministry,” as I believe the love and compassion Jesus represented to us are essential in everything we do. This philosophy guides my work with the children, as I strive to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and loved. It's important to me that every child knows they have a place where they belong and are encouraged to grow in their faith and character.
Outside of church, my life is filled with family and hobbies. I love watching my kids' games, reading a good book, and fly fishing. Cooking is another joy, as I love experimenting with new recipes and sharing meals with friends and family. And if I must admit, true crime stories are my guilty pleasure!
As I continue my journey with Living Water Fellowship, I am excited to see how our community grows and evolves. My goal is to continuously enhance our children's program and ensure it remains a place of love, learning, and laughter. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and be part of such a vibrant and supportive community.

Something fun and uniquely Cami? She unapologetically loves her dog Baxter like he’s her third child—and jokes that when Pastor Justin once said dogs might not go to Heaven, she nearly left the church (kidding… sort of!).

Ray & Nancy Hopfer
Elders
We’re Ray and Nancy, and it’s been one of our greatest honors to serve as elders at Living Water Fellowship for most of the past 40+ years. This church has been our spiritual home, and we’ve been deeply rooted here through seasons of growth, challenge, and joy. Ray currently serves as Vice President of LWF, and Nancy brings her heart and skill to her roles as Treasurer and Keeper of the Books.
Before accepting a role as elders, we were both educators—a calling that naturally flowed into our current roles as disciplers, encouragers, and Connect Group leaders. Nothing brings us more joy than walking alongside others as they discover their God-given gifts, step into their unique callings, and embrace the vision of impacting our community for Christ.
We adore our two grown children, their amazing spouses, and our two precious grandsons. Life beyond ministry is full of adventure—we love to play pickleball, hike, read, and travel together as “SON/Sun seekers,” always chasing both the light of Christ and the beauty of His creation.
