OUR MINISTRY TEAM
Pastor Erich Christman
Senior Pastor
Erich served St. John's as a Director of Christian Education, Student Associate, and Associate Pastor prior to being called as Pastor. He is:
Jocelyn Walker
Director of Youth & Young Adults
Jocelyn came to St. John's in 2020 and served as the Administrative Assistant for four years prior to being called to serve as the Director of Youth & Young Adult ministries. Jocelyn worked previously with teens and young adults in higher education and is thrilled to be working with the age group once again, this time helping them develop their personal relationships with Jesus Christ. She is married to her husband of eight years, Corey, and together they have two daughters, Allie and Evy, and two dogs, Russell and Rex. With a heart to serve, you can often find Jocelyn in many different places on Sunday mornings, serving as a vocalist, live stream tech, Nursery coordinator, and Children's Message teacher, to name a few!
MINISTRY SUPPORT STAFF
Buffy Riley
Interim Director of Music Ministires
Buffy became a member of St. John's in 2023 after serving as an accompanist for a number of years prior. Buffy's heart of service for the Lord and the ministries of St. John's is blessedly evident in all that she does. When not at St. John's, Buffy works in payroll at Sauder Manufacturing and is the blessed mother of Corrie, Kristen, and Jay.
Gloria Beck
Administrative Assistant
Gloria comes to St. John’s with a rather eclectic background. She graduated from Pettisville Schools and Goshen College, and added to her education by tacking on a number of seminary courses at AMBS. She has factory and office experience from Sauder Woodworking, served as office manager for two small businesses, and served as pastor in two congregations. Somehow, it seemed fitting to throw all that into one basket by serving as the Administrative Assistant at St. Johns! She currently lives in Pettisville with Phil & Glenn, her two labradoodles.
