The Rev. Jessica Wietzke has been the Associate Pastor since January of 2010. She is a native of Iowa. Jessica earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Central College, Pella, IA. and a Master of Divinity Degree from Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, New Jersey. She is passionate about young people, teaching, and preaching. Having traveled around the world, she appreciates the diversity of Christianity. A key scripture passage for her is Romans 12:2: "Do not be confirmed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and perfect" (NRSV) or "Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what God wants from you & quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you" (The Message).
