Meet the Pastor
Pastor Peter Breitsch (follow this link to send an Email to Pastor Pete) came to St. John in the summer of 1997, after serving 14 years at his first parish in Hackensack, NJ. He is a 1982 graduate of the Lutheran Seminary at Philadelphia, and in 1983, he received his Master’s of Sacred Theology from the same seminary. While serving the church in New Jersey, Pastor Breitsch received a teaching fellowship from Fordham University, and completed a PhD. dissertation on late medieval apocalyptic thought and its interpretation in the writings of Martin Luther.
Although Pastor Breitsch enjoys teaching, his first love is preaching and leading worship on Sunday morning. He is an active participant in the Williamsville Clergy Association, and is always eager to develop our ecumenical and inter-faith relationships in the community. He, and the congregation, are working to strengthen our partnerships with local benevolent organizations, as well as thinking globally to address poverty and suffering through the ELCA World Hunger Appeal and Disaster Relief Program.
