Sarah Heckaman, Student Minister

Sarah, and her husband Tim, have been married for over 15 years and have three cats, Leo, Tucker and Callie. She enjoys reading, board games and anything artsy-crafty.

Sarah has been the teen minister here at DeWitt Christian Church since January 2013. She first started working with the youth ministry in 2008, when she was asked to help out with a lock-in during the summer. After that, she knew this is what God has called her to do. “I prayed for months asking God where I could help the church, what He wanted me to do. I realized He answered my prayers when I worked at Rock Lake Christian Assembly (RLCA) during the 8-12th Grade All Girls camp for a week, and then when I did that first lock-in after VBS that same summer.”

Sarah first learned about Jesus in 8th grade. Her older brother had started attending a local youth group and invited her to come along. Through friends and mentors, she learned who Jesus really was. That summer, she was baptized and went to her first Christ in Youth (CIY) summer conference that changed her life completely.
