Nikki Sauter, Pastoral Assistant

Nikki and her husband Kris have been following God in the area of ministry for a little while now. It was during a placement as youth pastors in Wisconsin, that they began to form a beautiful hope of becoming pastors in a healthy, vibrant church, where they could do what God designed them to do. After a few months of "dating" the Vineyard to see what the community was all about, they were invited to join the staff in 2004.

Since then it seems like Nikki and Kris have had their hands in a lot of cool things God is doing in peoples lives here. Helping connect families and couples to Jesus, praying for people, and being an example of a really cool, fun, God centered family. Her hope is always that people in her company, would see Jesus, with skin on.

Nikki loves to cook Thai food, and plant (and hopefully grow) anything that can survive in her yard. She's kept busy by pitching, throwing, tackling and swatting anything her boys deem appropriate for the sporting season, and loves snuggling with her beautiful daughter. She also loves it that for the rest of her days, she gets to dream a little dream with her best friend on their front porch. (Thats her favorite!)
