I have attended Willow Street Mennonite Church my whole life. From an early age I felt the call of God to be an influence in the lives of young people for the sake of Christ.

Assistant Secretary
Mary Lou
In my 20’s I prayed for a husband who would be involved in church work, and God answered my prayer! I enjoy being a pastor’s wife and Assistant Secretary here at church. I love music and worshipping God, photography, and word games. We have three amazing daughters, Allison, Melanie and Carissa.
Fun Fact:
Chocolate and peanut butter are my favorite flavors, especially when combined… in shakes, desserts, and especially soft ice cream.
I love being outdoors and enjoy watching the animals and birds in our backyard.

Children’s Ministry Director
Lindsey Stiger
My husband Caleb, our five children and I have been attending WSMC since 2013. I have always loved working with kids and have been a stay at home mom since 2011. I hold a degree in
elementary education, but it’s my experience as a mom and follower of Jesus that has most impacted my heart for children’s ministry. I believe that church should be a place that kids (and their parents!) want to be. “Let the little children come and do not hinder them” is my heart’s cry and I am honored to be the Children’s Ministry Director here at WSMC.

Fun Fact:
You can usually find me at a local thrift store, or in the LS bleachers supporting one of
our kid’s sporting events. If I am not out and about I am at home folding laundry, washing the dishes or reading a book. I love going for a run at sunrise, being with my family and coaching, I mean watching, the Phillies.

Worship Ministry Director
Greg Petershiem
It was a fall day in 1992 that forever altered the trajectory of my life. Since then, I’ve carried a deep passion for seeing the church engage in authentic, God-centered worship. My wife, Tina, and I are grateful parents of three grown children. These days, our home is shared with two cats, one yappy little dog, and the delightful pitter-patter of our grandchildren’s feet.
Fun Facts:
That little dog, known in the biker community and on social media as “MotoPupMolly”, loves riding on the back of my motorcycle. She brings joy to charity events and unexpected smiles to anyone who happens to stop behind us at a red light.
