Pastor

Rounded Rectangle: Serving God By Serving Others

Reverend Amy Lia Poust

I am blessed to be a servant leader in the local church! For my eight years of pastoral ministry- I have seen God do some great things at the local and global level through good people in the local church. I am passionate about the church being a place where spiritual transformation happens. When people have a positive experience of Jesus Christ through celebrative worship, when they study and participate in Bible study and small groups; when they build

relationships and safely wrestle with the deep mysteries of life and faith, people discover their passion and purpose in life!! A Spirit-filled person emerges, becomes more committed, gets involved, serves in ministry- shares Christ- and that changes the world!!!- One person, one life at a time!

My vision for the local church is to be a place where this happens for all people!!

I am happily married with three children. I am blessed and busy keeping up and being involved in the lives of my family! I heard God’s call to pastoral ministry well over ten years ago now. At the time I was a youth and family counselor at a residential treatment facility for children. I pursued God’s leading and enrolled at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary where I graduated with a Master of Divinity degree. I became an Ordained Elder in the Northern Illinois Conference in June 2007.

I am very excited to be at Pecatonica UMC- God is truly blessing us with incredible opportunities! Hope to see you here!
