Sara Weatherman came to First Congregational United Church of Christ in Longmont in November of 2004. Sara is a Commissioned Minister of Christian Education (that's what the CMCE after her name stands for) in the United Church of Christ. She was commissioned in 1993. Commissioned Ministry is an authorization to a specialized area of ministry, in Sara's case Christian Education. The process for Commissioning is the same as for Ordination, but the educational requirement is more specific to a particular type of ministry.

Before coming to First Congregational in Longmont, Sara served as Minister of Education at First Congregational in Colorado Springs from 1985 to 1998. She was responsible for Church School, youth and adult education, intergenerational learning events, summer activities, children's choir and women's ministry. Sara also served as Associate Conference Minister for Programming in the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Church of Christ, from 1994 to 2001. Responsibilities included a full range of summer camp programming, youth ministry, support of local church education through curriculum events and teacher training. The Rocky Mountain Conference includes Colorado, Utah, and Southern Wyoming. Before joining the UCC in 1985, Sara served in Presbyterian and United Methodist Churches, and a Protestant Chapel in Stuttgart, Germany. She was educated at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. She grew up in New Mexico where her father was a Presbyterian minister.

Sara has two adult daughters, Amy of Longmont and Karen of Colorado Springs. Sara dabbles in Biblical archaeology, likes to read, sing and play the flute in her spare time.
