Leah Sparling 

Leah studied broadcasting and public relations at Campbell University where she received a volleyball scholarship, worked in the athletic department, became sports editor of the schools newspaper and eventually became an athletic academic counselor on staff. Leah is native to Dayton, however New York, Seattle and South Carolina have all been called home. She and her husband Philip and three girls call Bellbrook home now. Her passions for sports and marketing led her to opportunities in sales, marketing, promotions. Her passion for leadership led her to entrepreneurial opportunities, but her love for God always led her back to ministry where she has worked to elevate nonprofit organizations in food insecurity, substance abuse recovery, and pro-life organizations. Leah helped catalyze Provoke Dayton, and serves on the teaching team for the Pizza, Paul and Mary. Her current role for SouthBrook is the Director of City Lights, energized by the task of connecting people to Christ and to each other.
