Thank you for browsing our website. I hope you have a better sense of Perkasie Mennonite Church through the words, pictures, events, and links. You are always welcome to come and be with us as we worship, eat, talk, study, work and play together.

Perhaps you have noticed that our mission statement is “to model Jesus.” Jesus modeled God’s radical, inclusive love and we are challenged by Jesus’ example to extend that hospitality to all. We fall short of Jesus' example of non-violent love, but we are on the journey and we’d love to learn from you and your experiences. You don’t need to believe the “right” things to be a part of us, but we’d love for you to join us in our aim to follow and model Jesus.

A little bit about me. I grew up on a farm in Nebraska and attended a small Mennonite Church with my family. I am a graduate of Hesston and Goshen Colleges, and hold a Masters of Divinity degree from Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary. I have had experience in youth ministry, development work in West Africa, and pastoral ministry in congregations in Indiana and Ohio, and work with congregations and pastors within Ohio Conference of Mennonite Church USA.

My wife Mary is also an ordained minister with Mennonite Church USA, and serves on the pastoral staff at Blooming Glen Mennonite Church. We have two young adult daughters and a cat, and make our home in Perkasie.
