Rev. Staci Plonsky, a native Floridian, comes from the Melbourne, Florida area. She previously served in United Methodist churches working with children, youth and families, and community outreach. (She also was a childbirth educator and doula for 9 years!)

Pastor Staci is a graduate of Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. She earned her Master of Divinity degree with distinction in 2022. Some of her gifts include creativity, compassion, and teaching.

Pastor Staci married her husband, Terry, in 2000. He is an electrical engineer of heavy-lift rockets. Together, they have three teenaged children: Grace, A.J., Juliette. Their family loves animals and currently raises 1 horse, 2 hens, 2 giant dogs, and 3 cats (not in the parsonage, don’t worry!)

Pastor Staci’s favorite Scripture verse is Romans 8:38-39:

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Pastor Staci enjoys meeting with members of the community as well as active participants in the life of our church.

Mike directs all our services, assists with worship planning, and directs our various choirs. He has great experience directing musical groups of varying ages, sizes and musical abilities and appreciation for varying styles of music.

He graduated from FSU magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education and has been sharing a love of music and the Lord throughout a very successful career, including teaching both middle school and high school.

He is an accomplished musician who has performed with a wide variety of groups from high school and college marching bands to symphony orchestras, wind ensembles and musical theater. Like his father before him and son following him, he is well known for his talent on the French horn.
