Pastor

It is a joy to serve as pastor of Christ United Methodist Church.   There are many generous and caring people that are part of God's family here, seeking to grow in their faith. 

 

My husband Steve and I live here in  Millcreek Township with our daughter Ellen, our dogs Alfie and Sassy and our cat Chloe.  My joys of ministry are preaching, teaching and helping God's people grow closer to Jesus Christ.

 

I love to spend time with my family, especially the times we get to see our son Craig and his wife Meghan, who live in Greensburg.  I enjoy reading, quilting and needlework of all kinds. 

 

I am glad you've visited our website.  May you experience the fullness of God's grace  - and if Christ Church can be a part of that journey, please contact us! Feel free to drop me an email anytime...

I became the Director of Youth Ministry in September of 2008, but my family and I have been members of Christ Church since we moved back to Erie in 1999.

 

I live with my wonderful husband Mike, our two children, Ashley and Brandon, our four dogs, Sarah, Maxie, Mickey, and Tinkerbell, and one rabbit, Fudge. We enjoy watching movies, going to the beach, taking long walks, teaching, learning, and spending time with each other.

I have just recently accepted the position Director of Children's Minstry, but have been working on staff in children's minstry for over three years. I am excited to see what God has planned for the familes here at Christ Church. My vision is to partner with families, growing together as a part of God's family.

 

My husband, John, and I have three children, Lynnea Mae, Joseph David, and a new baby girl Sophia Hope. We joined Christ Church in June 2004 and have come to love our church family. My husband and I enjoy cooking, family time, outdoor fun, and laughing with our children.

 

If you have any questions about our Children's Ministry program, feel free to drop me an email or look for me on Sunday mornings.

 

If you have questions about the Preschool Program, call me at 838-8918 or drop me an email.
