Sarasota Christian Church Leadership
Sarasota Christian Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.
Todd Allen
Lead Pastor
todd@ sarasotacc.org
I was born in Indiana where I lived my whole life (stints in Bloomington, West Lafayette, Indianapolis, and Plainfield) until God called our family to minister in Sarasota. My wife Ashley and I were married in 2008 and we have three kids – Samuel, Lucy, and Grace.
My calling as a follower of Jesus and a pastor is to know Jesus and to make him known. I love getting to help people better understand the Bible and helping the local church discover and act on what God has given it to do for the Kingdom. I studied history at Purdue University and received my Master of Divinity from Cincinnati Bible Seminary.
I love time with my family, and together we enjoy reading, hiking, board games, and a good movie or show. I love sports of all varieties but I’m a much better fan than athlete. If you want to meet and talk about Jesus I hope it’s over a cup of coffee because I love Jesus, I love people, and I love coffee.
