My name is Sam Showalter and I currently serve as the Vice President of the church. I was born and raised here in Hampton, and I farm with my family in the surrounding area. My wife Laura and I became members at St. Paul in 2017. In addition to serving on church council, we have served as confirmation mentors.

Hello! I'm Robyn Kofoot, Chair of the Board of Youth! I recently switched to this role after serving as Board of Education chair and on the Worship and Music board. I also serve as co-chair of the call committee! My husband, Marcus, and I have 3 kids: Peyton, Max, and Parker.

My name is Vicar Caitlin Tauro, and I serve at St. Paul as Lay Minister. I am in my second year of seminary at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, IA. I love that St. Paul is a welcoming place and I'm always very excited about the work our youth and our WELCA group is doing. I am married to my wonderful husband, Paul, and we have five children. In my spare time, I love to read, craft, spend time with my chickens and ducks, and spend time with my family.
