OUR
STaff
Our staff are kind, welcoming, and hardworking, whether visible or behind the scenes, as they lead worship, events, and outreach within the community. They'd love to get to know you.
“I am passionate about discipleship and mission, and it is a joy to come alongside others as we seek to grow in our relationship with God and seek to share the gifts that God has given us to love and serve others within the church and beyond in the communities in which we work and play. I find it exciting that we are called to follow Christ and enter into the world alongside others in order to be a part of God’s work in the world. I love that it is God who comes to us in the midst of our brokenness in order to bring about healing. My life experiences both joyous and sorrowful have contributed to my call to ministry. I have learned the importance of being a safe place for people to ask questions of faith. Through the deaths of family members, both young and old, I have learned of God's healing presence, the importance of honest prayer, and the blessing of loving community. Thank you for the opportunity to join you in ministry here at St. Peter.” -Pastor Miranda
Senior Pastor: Miranda Klosterboer
Pastor Miranda began serving as the Senior Pastor of St. Peter in March of 2020. Miranda enjoys coming alongside others on the journey of faith, spending time with family and friends, and being active outdoors. Exploring the beautiful trails and hills of the area while hiking with her two young sons (Micah age six and Jonathan age three) is particularly life-giving for her. Miranda is married to Jesse, a loving father, gifted musician, and faithful camp director; he serves as the Executive Director of Sugar Creek Bible Camp, in Ferryville, WI. Both Jesse and Miranda feel blessed to be serving in ministry alongside such wonderful people.
