Pat Thompson
Pastor
I have served as the senior pastor at Church of the Living Word since September of 2021. I grew up with my best friend and wife, Stephanie, in western New York. We love raising and homeschooling our 9 children. We are honored that the Lord has called us to serve the body of CLW. Teaching the Word of God is my passion and I love seeing the Holy Spirit moving and stirring in the hearts of the people of this community.
Chris Sauke
Administrator/Worship Leader/Youth Leader
I have been the Worship Leader since July of 2011 and became the Youth Director/Administrator in August of 2014. Prior to coming on board full time in 2014, I taught instrumental music for 16 years. God had something different planned for me than what I had planned (surprise, surprise). But God is truly faithful and I really enjoy my new calling! I have been married to my beautiful wife Amy since 1998 and we have 3 children: Keturah, Benji and Isaac. In my free time you will find me taking care of my honey bees, playing music and enjoying the outdoors.
