Her unique passion is curating spaces marked by vulnerable storytelling, deep listening, and lavish hospitality, whether in ministry or through events outside the church. When not performing music, she loves reading a great thriller, traveling, cooking, dabbling in languages, playing King and Scum with her kids, or curating a wild charcuterie grazing table for whoever shows up on a lazy Friday evening.  She'd love to hear your story and connect further!

I am Sayda Lemus. I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and I grew up there with my siblings and my parents. At 17 years old, I met my husband, Víctor, and after some time, we got married, and I moved to Washington. I spent 10 years living in Bellevue, and I loved that city. I have been living in Everett for 7 years, and my favorite pastime is spending time with my family. I have always believed that making memories with my children is the most beautiful treasure I can keep in my heart.  

I work at Woodinville Alliance Church, for which I thank God for opening doors for me there. I have always thought that family is not only by blood but also those whom God places around us, and being in that place, I know that God always works according to His perfect will.  

My Lord Jesus is in all my heart, and I thank Him every day for allowing me to live His mercies over my life.
