Sarah Cates

Director of Preschool Ministries

Sarah Cates has served in preschool ministry at FBCWF since 2006, including approximately 10 years in her current role as Director of Preschool Ministries. Her journey began as a part-time childcare worker, and over the years she has faithfully served in every position within the preschool ministry, growing alongside the ministry she now leads. Sarah holds a degree from Texas Christian University and is passionate about creating a loving, nurturing environment where young children can begin to discover who Jesus is. Her favorite verse, Exodus 14:14—“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”—reminds her of God’s constant presence, especially through life’s challenges. Sarah is the proud mom of two children: CJ (23), who is pursuing certification in Aircraft Maintenance, and Avery (19), who is studying to become a commercial pilot. Outside of ministry, she enjoys reading, baking, and spending time near the water—especially at the beach. What Sarah loves most about FBCWF is watching little ones grow in confidence, connect with others, and begin to develop a love for the Lord through the church’s preschool ministry.
