🌟 Meet Reverend Ben J. Francisco🌟 Pastor Ben has been leading our supporting congregation at Faith Lutheran Church since October 2020. He also brings his passion for spiritual growth and community building to our 8th grade confirmation classes, chapel services, and staff retreats. πŸ™ What does he love most about his role? It's witnessing the spiritual, academic, and personal growth among the students, especially his own boys. πŸ“š His career journey began with aspirations of becoming a high school math teacher. However, his path took a turn towards theology and Biblical studies during his time at Concordia University in Irvine, CA. Despite academic challenges, he persevered through seminary education, guided by God's grace and support from his community. He served congregations in Brady, Texas, and Grant, Nebraska, before joining us in York. 🏫 Pastor Ben is married to Elisa, who works at Baer's Furniture with a degree in Interior Design. Together, they have two sons, Elijah and Michael, as well as their beloved family dog, Sasha. He also serves his community as a volunteer firefighter. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦πŸΎπŸ”₯ Let's express our gratitude to Rev.

🌟Meet Zach Rivera 🌟 Let’s greet Mr. Zach, our talented Head Cook, who has been delighting our students' taste buds since October 2019! What does Zach love most about his role? It's the joy of cooking and introducing our students to new culinary delights. He knows he has achieved success when the students or staff say they love the delicious meals he prepares. 🍽️🍳 Zach's career path didn't involve any formal training; instead, his passion for cooking was nurtured by watching his mom and grandma in the kitchen. πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ In his family life, Zach is a proud father of three and has celebrated 20 blissful years of marriage to his Russian beauty, Lena. When he's not tantalizing taste buds, you'll find him strumming his guitar, leading worship, or perfecting the art of outdoor meat smoking. 🎸πŸ₯© Let's give a round of applause to Zach for infusing our school with delicious meals and spreading joy through his culinary prowess! πŸ‘πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ #MeetOurTeam #TeamEF #SchoolLunch

🌟 Meet Jannese Steider🌟 Jannese has been guiding and inspiring our 8th graders for 4 years, bringing her passion for teaching and nurturing their faith journey since the fall of 2020. πŸ“š Jannese cherishes the incredible growth she witnesses in her students' faith throughout the year, as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of adolescence. Jannese's career path has been marked by her unwavering dedication to teaching. She has been a Lutheran school teacher in Ohio, California, Kansas, and Nebraska.
