our staff

Our church staff is responsible for enacting the vision God has given our church as we seek to be a place of community for our members and our community. Please reach out to any of us, or drop by the office and have a cup of coffee!

  • Rev. sandy heard

    Rev. Sandy Heard is an ordained Elder serving in this community for the past seven years - beginning at First UMC Rockwall as an Associate Pastor and now at First UMC Heath as Lead Pastor. She grew up in Rockwall and feels honored to serve in her hometown. Prior to jumping into ministry full-time, Sandy enjoyed an 18-year career in Human Resources management…where she expected to stay for the rest of her working years. God disrupted her life with a clear call to leave a job she loved for one she’d love even more. Years later, Sandy continues to be in awe of the ways God takes the wisdom we gain from our past experiences of joy and suffering to prepare us for the next season of our lives. Sharing this holy mystery with others is one of her favorite ways to help people see how God is already working through their experiences. Sandy has two young adult kiddos, 21 and 19.
