     Jana is our church treasurer and coordinates our spiritual formation program and college ministry.  She also coordinates the small group ministry along with the Associate Pastor.

     Jana has spent the majority of her career in the non-profit world. Serving the YMCA of the Rockies in the late 1970's & early 1980's in a variety of positions including college staff coordinator and business manager of the Estes Park operation. In the mid- 1980's her career moved to the corporate world at Talbots, an East coast retailer, where she served as purchasing manager. Upon moving to Van Wert in 1987, she assumed the position of Executive Director of the YWCA.

     Jana began her Christian walk as a young child under the influence of her Aunt Leo, her Dad's sister. Aunt Leo introduced her to the Bible stories and made sure her little niece understood how much Jesus loved her. She accepted Christ with Aunt Leo kneeling beside her. From that beginning, Jana's spiritual life has been one of seeking and questioning and in recent years, obeying the truths she has known most of her life.
