Leadership
Pastors & Staff

Rev. Michael Moore
Associate Pastor of Music & Media
Michael grew up in the small South Georgia town of Vidalia, but he and Suzette have called Sarasota home for over 20 years. He graduated from Brewton Parker College and The School of Church Music at Shorter University where he and Suzette met on the first day! Ask either of them if they believe in love at first sight, and the answer will be yes! They have two sons and one grandson and enjoy spending time with family, going out to eat with friends, watching classic movies, and when they can get away, spending time in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. They enjoy working together and love helping others develop musically, grow spiritually, and use their gifts and abilities in leading the church in worship.

Rev. Jared Windham
Associate Pastor of Student Ministries
Jared & his family were called to Sarasota Baptist Church in February of 2013. Jared is a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University and of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He comes to Sarasota Baptist Church after serving as Assoc. Pastor of Worship and Students at Saddle Creek Church in Little Rock, AR, and as Assoc. Pastor of Students at First Baptist Church of Glen Saint Mary, FL. Jared and his wife, Cindy, share a passion for this generation of students by helping them to discover a new way of life through an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ – learning how to love Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. With a call to full-time ministry during an international mission trip and a wife who previously served as a missionary in Brazil for three years, Jared also has a heart to mobilize students to personally respond to the Great Commission (Matt. 28). Married in 2006, Jared and Cindy have been blessed with one son and one daughter.
