Sandi is Community Engagement Coordinator at SMV, helping connect people with what is happening in our church community. She grew up in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula but has lived in the Twin Cities for over a decade. Her college studies (A.A. in Global Christian Ministry from Bethany Global University, B.A. in Linguistics from Bethel University, and M.Div. from Luther Seminary) let her study cultures, biblical languages, and ministry leadership. After she plugged into the Vineyard in 2017, she served as an intern and part-time staff member at River Heights Vineyard Church and interned here at South Metro, as well.

Sandi is passionate about people becoming more whole through the Word of God and through the Holy Spirit. It’s fulfilling for her when she can facilitate conversations or provide resources, then see people grow! When she’s not at church or occupied by her day job, she enjoys drawing and reading. She loves simplicity.
