Our Pastors
Julia is a graduate of Eastern Mennonite University and Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. In her free time, Julia loves to go on adventures with her husband Jon and their dog Lucy. They especially love the mountains of Colorado, where Julia's family has a cabin and where she and Jon got married. In addition to Lucy, they have a pet hedgehog named Petey and a turtle named Elbert. In addition to her work at Faith Mennonite, Julia works at AMBS working to help pastors thrive through different programs she administers. Before Julia pastored at Faith, she was the Immigrant Resource Coordinator at the Center for Healing & Hope in Goshen and a caseworker for homeless individuals at Oaklawn. Julia maintains a passion for peace and justice and brings this passion into her pastoring.
