Youth & Family Ministry

Greeting from Gary

Greetings, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

My name is Gary Pecuch and I am the Director of Youth and Family Ministry for the Southern Ohio Synod. I am the first person to hold such a position for the Synod and I engage the role with great enthusiasm.

I have been the Director of Youth Ministries at St. John's in Grove City since the fall of 1982 and continue to maintain a presence at St. John's as Youth Ministry Coordinator.

The Bishop has created the Director of Youth and Family Ministry position out of response to the great need that we all share to pass on the faith to our young people.

The overall objective of the position is to provide assistance to congregations in the area of youth and family ministry focusing on developing healthy long-term sustainable ministries.

With such in mind, please browse our website for ideas, resources, networking, and event information pertaining to youth & family ministry.

The journey begins here...
