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.

Jessica Meyer

Director Coastline Christian Schools

Hi, I’m Jessica Meyer—and I consider it one of life’s greatest honors to serve as the Director of Coastline Christian Schools. God has entrusted me with the joyful responsibility of helping raise up the next generation in truth, grace, and love. With a heart rooted in faith and a soul wired for creativity, I find deep purpose in serving in many forms: from guiding students and families, to leading worship, capturing God’s beauty through photography, and sharing the story of His goodness through social media and more.Whether it’s a classroom moment, a worship melody, or a candid photo that speaks louder than words—my goal is the same: to faithfully serve, make disciples, encourage families, and glorify God in all I do. Let’s build the Kingdom together—one child, one song, one story at a time.
