Our Leaders
We are located at 150 North Oak Street, Ottawa, OH. Telephone: (419) 523-3694
Pastor Lance Wiesmann
Pastor Lance has been officially contracted to lead us as of April 1, 2021. His first "official" service was on Easter Sunday, a time of new life and celebration.
Pastor Lance will serve us on a part-time basis as he still has a full time job of his own but has been led by faith to accept the challenge of ministry. With his very obvious energy, our transition team was assured that this situation will work well for all.
In the meantime, you may contact Pastor Lance at wiesmannlance@gmail.com or 517-270-4837. Please remember, however, the Pastor Lance's work schedule may impact his response time to any calls, texts, or emails.
Amy Remaklus--Moving from "Under Care" for Seminary Studies to Executive Director of Toledo Campus Ministry
The March 3 2022 Newsletter from our Maumee Valley Presbytery celebrated the Amy has now passed all of her ordination exams! Soon she will begin work as the Executive Director of Toledo Campus Ministry. Perhaps, the term "begin" is incorrect as Amy was an active part of TCM during her undergraduate years.
Other Church leaders
In every Presbyterian church, there is a group called the "Session" which is composed of "elders." Together with the pastor, this group oversees all church programs and activities. OPC's Session has six elders, with each elder serving a three-year term. Every year, two new elders are chosen by the congregation to replace those elders whose terms are completed.
Our church secretary is Andrea Morman (secretary@ottawapresby.org). She began her work in early December, 2010.
Beth Myers is our organist and Chas Myers is our choir director. Lynne Hirzel is our financial secretary (finsec@ottawapresby.org) and Beth Myers is now our treasurer (treasurer@ottawapresby.org). Also serving us is Dave Hanneman (custodian). Our child care position is currently open; however, at this moment in the pandemic we are not offering child care during worship.
