  • Evangeline Sanders is the 10th Executive Director of Charis Pregnancy Clinic. Evangeline has a bachelor's in medical sciences from the University of Leeds and a master’s in medical ethics & law from Kings College London. After college, Evangeline was honored to work in London as the Executive & Research Assistant to the former Bishop of Rochester alongside her work at Christian Concern where she learned about Christian public engagement and contending for truth at a national and international level.

    Evangeline was born in India, immigrated to the UK at age 5, and moved to the US after marrying her sweet husband, Joseph (who she met while serving on a mission trip to Mexico). Evangeline has a passion for sharing the grace and the hope of the gospel with those she meets. She loves to sing, hike, and bake and is currently enjoying raising her two Great Bernese pups in the beautiful Utah mountains.

  • Linda has over 20 years of experience in women’s ministries, focusing on helping women overcome shame. In January 2019, she felt called by God to break the silence about her past abortion and soon began volunteering with a pro-life organization in Idaho. Shortly thereafter, she became their Director of Community Outreach, expanding church partnerships and increasing volunteer engagement.

    In June 2024, Linda and her husband, Mick, moved to Utah with two of their five adult children. She joined Charis staff in January of 2025 and has loved connecting with the local pro-life community and churches in the Salt Lake and Utah Valleys.

    If your church is not yet partnered with Charis, Linda would love to share how you can get involved in saving lives and strengthening families. You may email her at linda@charisclinic.org
