Pastor - Jonathan Hoeldtke                          Jonathan has been the pastor of Woodstown Presbyterian for 6 years.  He is married to Melissa and they have two children, Liesl and Henrik.  He is a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and Gordon College.  While pursuing a career in wildlife ecology, God changed Jonathan's heart and led him into pastoral ministry.  "To me it was an example of God's grace because I once had no heart for being a pastor but God gave it to me.  I am so grateful because when it comes to life I feel like I am "in the zone" being a pastor. It is this passion for changed lives through the grace of Jesus that fuels my ministry."  Check out past Sunday messages in media or follow on Twitter.  Contact at wpcpastor@verizon.net.
