Hello, my name is Devin Wintermyer. I am so blessed to have the privilege to be the Senior Pastor here at New Beginnings Church in Punxsutawney, PA. I began ministering here in June of 2016. I moved here from MD, along with my wife, Joanne, and two daughters, Eliana and Jolena. However, my wife and I are native Pennsylvanians. I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area, and my wife was born and raised in Howard, PA. We ministered in TX and FL for 15 years before moving to MD and now back to PA. So it's nice to finally be back home in Steeler's Country. Yes, I am a fan of all teams Black & Gold.
Although I attended church as a child, I did not fully embrace Jesus as my Lord and Savior until the age of 15. God ministered to me one night while I was watching a baseball game between the Pirates and the Padres on the West Coast. That night I gave my life to Jesus, and I have never been the same since.
During high school, I had intentions of going into accounting, but during my senior year, God made it clear that He had different plans for me. He opened the door for me to attend Valley Forge Bible College, from which I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree. I have since received my Master's Degree in Theology, and am currently working on my Doctorate.
Being in full-time ministry has been an amazing journey. I have ministered in the roles of Children's Pastor, Youth Pastor, Executive Pastor, Business Administrative Pastor, Campus Pastor, and Senior Pastor, and at times wore several of those hats all at once. I am currently loving my role as the Senior Pastor here at New Beginnings Church in Punxsutawney, PA, and am so blessed that God called me to come here.
I am super excited about what God has in store for New Beginnings Church. I know that God is doing and going to continue to do great things here. I hope that you will come visit us some day. Come in, shake my hand, and let's get to know one another.
My personal mission statement is this: Jesus wants to be our personal Savior, so it makes sense that if we want to introduce others to Jesus, we need to get to know one another on a personal level to win the right to introduce them to Jesus.
When you visit, please know that it is my deep, deep desire to get to know you, your family, and what I can do to be the best Pastor I can be for you. I hope to see you soon!
Have a blessed day!
Pastor Devin Wintermyer
