St. Peter’s Lutheran Church is blessed with an office and program staff who faithfully serve alongside the rostered leaders of the church. They along with our many volunteers help transform the vision of our ministry into reality!
Program Staff

Rev. Craig Ross
Senior Pastor
I have always appreciated the positive perspective on life and faith that is here… the broad range of life/social/political perspectives in our congregation… and the staff with whom I am blessed to work.

Rev. Sarah Teichmann
Pastor of Christian Formation
I love working in a staff where we are able to use each other’s strengths for the glory of God. I am energized by the lay leaders of the church and the creative ways they can extend the mission of Jesus to congregational members and our community.

Sister Dottie Almoney
Director of Education & Outreach
Our youth grow into faithful disciples through education, fellowship and service. I am also excited about the new social ministries in which we are partnering with other Manheim Township churches, such as Lydia’s Closet and Homes for Hope.

Vicar Pal Pusztai
Vicar Pál I. Pusztai is in his third year at the United Lutheran Seminary’s Gettysburg campus. Vicar Pál is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. He currently lives in Dover, Pennsylvania.

Samantha Cuascut
Director of Children’s Ministries
I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the faith formation of the children of the church.

Lorraine DiBernardo
Preschool Director
I’m blessed to have the privilege to minister to children and families from our community and to foster a love of learning in our preschoolers. And I’m very blessed to work among a very passionate and creative church and preschool staff.

Dr. Adam Lefever Hughes
Director of Music
I love helping the St. Peter’s community proclaim the gospel message through song. I believe the music we make at St. Peter’s shapes us as a community of faith and can open our eyes to how God works in our world today.

Erik Teichmann
Contemporary Worship Leader
I’ve been leading music in worship since 2001, and I love to work with others to offer up our musical gifts to God. When I’m not playing guitar and most anything with strings, I build websites and help nonprofits tell their stories.
