The Rev. Cheryl Hoffman
Pastor Cheryl Hoffman was called to St. Mark in the summer of 2017.
​
She graduated Millersville University with a B.A. with honors in Social Work and a minor in sociology. Serving as Director of Youth Ministry for St. Paul's United Church of Christ, Manheim, Pennsylvania, Pastor Hoffman entered seminary at Lancaster Theological Seminary, earning a Master of Arts in Religion. She received her Master of Divinity degree from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.
​
Ordained in 1999, she was called as Pastor to Zion Lutheran Church, Marietta, Pennsylvania. She later contracted as supply Pastor for St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Strasburg, Pennsylvania.
​
Pastor Hoffman delights in the privilege of walking with individuals & congregations: listening to, learning about & being a part of their stories & lives. She also enjoys planning & leading worship and creating an atmosphere in which the Spirit can move, stretch & grow the faith of individuals & a congregation.
Her parents live in central PA, where she grew up. One sister and her family live in northern CA. Her Glastonbury companions are two cats, J (a regal feline, black with a white spot at his throat, similar to a pastor's tab collar) & Chloe (also black, about six years younger than J, spunky & likes to growl at her tail & chase imaginary friends about the parsonage).
Pastor Hoffman likes to crochet, put together jigsaw puzzles, walk in the woods & travel, somewhat farther afield.
