Picture
Rev. Sara Sutter began serving as Director of Lakeshore Center in October of 2022. Sara worked on summer staff at the Presbyterian Camp on Okoboji from 1997-2001 and was on year round staff for a couple years as the program director. She grew up in Cherokee, attended Northwestern College in Orange City, worked as a youth director in Winterset and Cherokee before attending seminary at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. Her first call in ordained ministry was to United Presbyterian Church in Goldfield. She has been active in North Central Iowa Presbytery and enjoys attending Synod School when scheduling allows. 

Sara married Steve in the chapel at Lakeshore in 2012. They live with two spoiled cats: Benny and Phoebe. In her free time, Sara enjoys creative writing, reading, cross-stitching, and trying interesting recipes. Sara is excited to lead Lakeshore's next chapter. She hopes to continue with the legacy of youth programming while also offering church leadership development and retreats for adults of all ages. She is eager to connect and reconnect with friends of Lakeshore.

Steve Sutter
Office Manager/Turkey Wrangler


     Steve started at Lakeshore Center in January of 2023. He spent the two years before that as Director of the Rowan           Public Library. Born and raised in Appleton, Wisconsin, Steve got his degree in English from the University of                     Wisconsin - Green Bay, where he minored in Arts Management. He’s cautiously optimistic that working at
     Lakeshore Center will give him a chance to make practical use of his minor for the first time in 20 years.


     Steve married Sara here at Lakeshore in 2012, and has enjoyed being in the space as a retreat many times                         throughout the last ten years. He is looking forward to being an integral part of the next chapter of Lakeshore’s
     story. In his free time, Steve enjoys playing guitar, reading, writing fiction, and playing video games.
