Sarah Borchelt
I came to Charlottesville, VA initially for undergrad at UVA as a nursing student and a rower. Being involved in college ministry as a student athlete forever influenced the trajectory of my walk with Christ. I will always remain grateful for how the Lord used that ministry and those people to show me that we can have a real relationship with Him! I now work as a Nurse Practitioner, but I remain passionate about athletics and seeing young people come to Faith and learn they are loved by Christ!

I value service, involvement, and working together to support and strengthen the community I call home.
