Sarah Schutte | Pastor and Head of Staff
Rev. Sarah Schutte and her family moved from Virginia to Goose Creek in early 2026. Originally
from California, Sarah served congregations in Alaska, California, New Jersey, Kentucky, and
England before spending the last 15 years as pastor near Richmond, VA. Rev. Schutte
graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2001 and was ordained as Minister of Word
and Sacrament in the PC(USA) in January of 2004. After more than 30 years in ministry, Rev.
Schutte continues to have a passion to see the church renewed and growing in the power of
the Holy Spirit.
Rev. Schutte is a gifted communicator and a compassionate shepherd. You will find her equally
at home exploring complex theological ideas, sitting at a hospital bedside, leading in worship, or
laughing around the dinner table. It won’t take much time around her to see that in addition to
loving people, Rev. Schutte loves Jesus. She loves talking about Jesus, learning about Jesus,
spending time in His presence, and inviting others to know him better. She has a heart for
worship and for praying with and for others. One of the theme verses for her life is Philippians
1:6, “God who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ
Jesus.”
When not busy tending to church life, Rev. Schutte enjoys spending time in nature, traveling
and exploring, learning about different cultures, taking in the arts, and spending time with her
husband Kevin and their daughter, Jordan.
