Sabina Pappu - Princeton Theological Seminary

Sabina Pappu

Polaris Leadership Fellow 2025

Sabina was born in the United States and raised in North India, growing up speaking Hindi, English, and Malayalam. From a young age, she developed a love for music, hospitality, and playing with her three brothers. Though leadership was not an initial goal, Sabina gradually embraced the roles life offered her, discovering that her strength comes from security in God and owning her story. She earned a bachelor’s degree in counseling from Moody Bible Institute and a master’s degree in Christian leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary. Motivated by a growing concern for the well-being of Christian leaders, Sabina founded Se.cure, an offline retreat space dedicated to Christian leaders. Sabina advocates for a renewal in Christian leadership—one that values the humanity of leaders above all else. She believes leaders need safe spaces to unravel their stories, rest deeply, and experience affirmation that who they are matters more than what they do in any given season.
