Celebrating Sofia Olmeda

Change is an inevitable part of life and ministry. While change often brings mixed emotions, it also reminds us of a deep and comforting truth: God moves His people according to His perfect wisdom—for the shaping of our individual lives and for the advancement of the Gospel. With that confidence and hope, we share an important update with our SFBA family.

After a year of faithful and impactful service, Sofia Olmeda will be stepping into a new role that aligns beautifully with her gifts, her calling, and the needs of her family. While we will miss her presence on our team, we are grateful for the way God has used her among us and optimistic about what He is doing next.

From the very beginning, Sofia stepped into a new role with humility, enthusiasm, and a servant’s heart. She learned quickly and served faithfully during a significant season of leadership transition within the Association. Her steady demeanor, willingness to help wherever needed, and joyful spirit were instrumental during this important chapter in SFBA’s life.

Sofia is consistently kind, warm, and encouraging. She has modeled selfless service and quiet excellence in all she has done. Though her time with us has been shorter than we might have hoped, it has been meaningful and fruitful, and we thank God for the gift of her presence during this season.

Sofia’s last day with SFBA will be February 28, 2026. She will be serving with one of our strategic partners, so she will not be far away. This next role will challenge her in new ways and allow her to use more of her skills and her wonderful personality for the blessing of others and the furtherance of God’s work.

While we will certainly miss Sofia, we move forward with confidence and joy, trusting that God has good plans—for her, for our Association, and for His Kingdom. As He continues to guide and position His people, we remain hopeful, grateful, and expectant for what lies ahead as His work continues to advance.
