OUR TEACHERS

Sarah oversees all Children's Ministries at North Coast Family Fellowship and is a mighty partner to NC Pre. Sarah's desire is to see kids of all ages and stages encounter the life-changing love of Jesus Christ. With a master's degree in Secondary Education, Sarah has a background of teaching in the public education system as well as leading church programming. She leads a team of dedicated NCFF volunteers who create dynamic, memorable, and life shaping experiences through the various programs that happen throughout the week.

Arlene grew up in Warrenton and graduated from Warrenton High School.  She has a diploma in Early Childhood Education and General Business from Clatsop Community College.  Arlene is married with three adult children, and she resides in the Jewell area of Clatsop County. Arlene has been involved in children’s ministry for over 36 years. Along with teaching Sunday School and many different Vacation Bible School ministries, Arlene has been in active leadership for AWANA Clubs for 25 years. Arlene has a huge heart for the salvation of the next generation and feels strongly that our time to share the Lord with young people is growing shorter.  Her joy of working with young children led her to the development and start up of Charis Kids in Cannon Beach, Oregon.  Arlene has also had the pleasure of working at Calvary Lutheran Preschool in Hillsboro, Oregon which is a “learn by play” preschool.  As the current Director of NC Pre, Arlene seeks to combine both the skills that come with an “academic” program and the freedom to explore that children gain from a “learn by play” program into a well-rounded preschool education for the children of Clatsop County.

Angela joined our NC Pre staff in 2024, after many years of running her own in-home preschool program and working in public school SPED classrooms. Her experience and training are highly-valued contributions to our program. 

Kim is our amazing NC Pre teaching assistant on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She has been a wonderful volunteer in the NCFF Children's Ministry nursery for many years, and we are so grateful to have her assistance this year.

Marti is the warm smile, kind heart, and true 'answer person' that greets you the moment you walk into the office. She works directly under the Lead Pastor,  heads up financial operations, and helps with the behind-the-scenes organizational aspects of Sunday mornings. She and her husband, John, delight in living on the North Oregon Coast with their rescued pups, Roman and Dublin.
