Sally Schroeder serves as the Gospel Kids Director at The Gospel Church. Originally from Colorado, Sally brings a joyful and energetic spirit to ministry and loves creating environments where children can experience the love of Jesus in fun and meaningful ways. She is passionate about partnering with families and equipping volunteers to disciple the next generation. Sally believes every child is deeply loved by God and desires to help children build a strong foundation of faith that will last a lifetime. When she’s not serving in ministry, you can usually find Sally spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, or planning something fun!
