OUR EXECUTIVE COORDINATOR
Sean Roberds
Executive Coordinator
Sean grew up in Raleigh, NC, where he began his lifelong passion for the NC State Wolfpack. Baptized at age ten in his home church, Forest Hills Baptist in Raleigh had a deep impact on his spiritual development and calling. His wife, Cara, is from Daytona Beach, FL. They met at Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, NC. They have two sons, Cole and Eli. Sean graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion; Sean was Ordained, September 12, 1999 by Weatherford Memorial Baptist Church. Sean received his Master of Divinity from Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond in May 2000.
​In addition to his 14 years as pastor of First Baptist Church of Herndon, Sean was pastor of Chadbourn Baptist Church in Chadbourn, North Carolina for six years and served as an associate pastor at First Baptist Church in Taylorsville, NC for five years. Before that, he was youth minister at Weatherford Memorial Baptist Church in Richmond and at Mars Hill Baptist Church in Mars Hill, NC.
​Even as a young teenager, Sean felt God’s call to ministry. He especially recalls a mission trip to inner-city Chicago with his NC church youth group that brought together Southern white teenagers and an urban community. Sean sensed God’s power at work as he witnessed a church made up of diverse people from different races, ethnic groups and backgrounds bring hope and healing to its community. Sean works to live into a calling of hope and healing for a diverse world.
