Lead Pastor
Rev. Angela Nielsen serves as the lead pastor at Sanborn Faith Community Church of the Nazarene. Bringing eleven years of pastoral experience to her role, Angela previously served as the Spiritual Formation Pastor at Zephyrhills First Church of the Nazarene in Florida before answering the call to Sanborn. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Houghton College, is a graduate of the Nazarene Bible College, and was ordained in the Upstate New York District in 2023.
In addition to her ministry, she is affectionately known as "Mrs. Nielsen" to students in the Starpoint School District, where she works as a substitute teacher—with a very special place in her heart for kindergarten classrooms!
Angela is married to her husband, Tor, and together they have three daughters. When she isn't pastoring or teaching, you can usually find her captured by a good book or behind the lens of a camera enjoying her love for photography.
