Sankies’ wife, Jamie, is from Tulsa Oklahoma. She has a degree in Elementary Education from Northeast State University. The Lynches are the parents of three little boys: Sankey Price (6), Owen Gregory (4) and Jackson Xavier (2).

Sankie was born in Sallisaw, OK. He is the youngest of four children. He describes his parents as God-fearing, blue-collar people. He professed Jesus Christ to be his Savior at a young age but, without the proper encouragement, had a typical up-and-down spiritual growth experience. Then Sankie describes a significant spiritual event occurring when he was 25 years of age. He says, “Under the weight of guilt of horrible, overwhelming sin Jesus pursued me and became indescribably captivating.”

Not long after, as he and Jamie were preparing for marriage (August, 1999), they caught a vision of making disciples, teaching the Bible, and gaining an incredible heart for the nations. From 2001 - 2003, Sankie traveled as a Missions Mobilizer with the Traveling Team. We have had the Traveling Team speak at New Beginnings Church.

For the past eight years Sankie has served as the pastor of twenty-somethings and small groups as well as providing administrative leadership at Grace Baptist Church. Sankie has a Bachelors Degree from Northeastern State University in Mental Health Psychology and a minor in Leadership. He is also nearing completion of a Masters Degree from Southern Seminary, in Louisville Kentucky. It was during his studies at Southern Seminary that he begin to develop a passion for family ministry.

The Ministry Leadership Team conducted a final interview with Sankie last Sunday July 21, 2013. Following the interview a unanimous remark was made, “I sensed the presence of the Holy Spirit. God seems to be putting this new relationship together.” The Lynches are looking forward to being a part of New Beginnings Church and South Tulsa community. Jamie recently conveyed to me, “I can't express how thankful, excited, and eager we are to be joining your family!”

Welcome Sankie, Jamie, and boys. We are thrilled to have you come and join us in our calling as families to be used by God to make a difference in our homes, in our community, in our church, and in the world! https://www.facebook.com/sankie.lynch
