Zion welcomes Courtney Rzeplinski, Director of Youth & Family Ministries

At the June 2017 Council meeting, the Council, on behalf of the congregation, approved the hiring of Courtney Rzeplinski as our Director of Youth and Family Ministries.  Courtney resides in Brick Township with her husband, John, and 18-month-old daughter, Lillian.  Courtney has a degree in Criminal Justice and is certified in Youth and Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary, currently working at her home church with their youth program.  She comes to us with excitement and enthusiasm in helping our congregation grow and looks forward to meeting our members.  We are anticipating an early August start date in preparation for our upcoming fall church season.  A task force has been established to work with Courtney and help with support in making her transition here at Zion a smooth one.  If anyone is interested in joining this task force, please feel free to contact Todd Rothermel or Judy Formalarie. Look for more information to come regarding her start date and a possible welcome reception.  Congregational support, both financially and emotionally, will be key in our success with this ministry.  As a whole church, we are making this commitment to Courtney to move forward in our desire to be the disciples Christ calls us to be.  Thank you to all who have given their time to making this happen and getting to this point in Zion's future growth and outreach.  We look forward to an exciting year ahead!
