Sarah Leifeste has been the youth minster at Katy Community Fellowship (KCF) for 5 years and has served in the youth ministry at KCF for 9. Her passion is to see young people fall deeply in love with Jesus and build a foundation in Him that will last a lifetime. Her and her husband Zach have had a deep calling to student ministry since getting radically saved in youth group during their own high school years.
Sarah is a UH grad with a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies and a certification in Nonprofit Management. She has worked in various roles throughout her professional life including church planting and developing/owning a small business.
Sarah and Zach have two beautiful young children. Sarah’s number one priority (after Jesus of course) is mommying her babies! She also enjoys dance, being outside, boba tea, coffee, and hanging out with youth!!!– Bring on all the chaos and late nights!
Rodrick Powell has been volunteering for KCF in the youth department for nearly 5 years and was brought on as ministry assistant in May 2024! He provides administrative ministry support, spiritual guidance, and fun activities. He also serves as a small group leader and is responsible for creating most of the crazy games we play on Sundays and Wednesday nights!
Rodrick graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Graphic Design and minor in Art History. While having worked in different fields in the past, he currently runs his own handyman business to serve the needs of others when he’s not serving the church.
Rodrick has two teenage boys, Samuel and Dean, who occupy most of his free time, but when he does get a moment to himself he enjoys playing (and winning) board games, drinking hot green tea, snacking on trail mix, and watching the Astros play.
