Our Church Leadership

Our Church thrives because of the energy and style of the people who are a part of our leadership. Here are a few of the people that make our church community special:

The Rev. L. Keith Pittsnogle- Minister

Pastor Keith was called to Pine Street Evangelical Lutheran Church in the spring of 2005 and began his ministry August 1, 2005. A graduate of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Pastor Keith was ordained on July 20, 2003. Prior to responding to his call to be a Lutheran minister, Pastor Keith served as Chief of the IRS Operations Command Center in Virginia. Earlier he was store manager of Designs by Levi in Winchester, VA. Keith is a 1984 graduate of Shepherd University, Shepherdstown, WV.

Pastor Keith is married to the Rev. Patricia Pittsnogle (Pastor Pat), who is pastor of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Milton.

Under Pastor Keith's gentle leadership, we have seen PSELC grow in numbers, especially young children. He has also led us to grow in faith, and grow in ministry. Keith is a strong proponent of the strength of prayers, and encourages us to "read Romans 12 and pray daily". Pine Street is indeed blessed to have Pastor Keith as our leader, our mentor, and our example of discipleship.

Brenda Fischer-Dennehy- Music Director

Brenda and her family are long time members of our church. She has served us in many ways, including Sunday School teacher, Bible School teacher, Sunday School superintendent, Church Council member, choir member, Praise Team member, and member of numerous committees and ministries, some of which she has chaired. In 2006 Brenda stepped forth to lead our various choirs, and by doing so has breathed new life into our ministry through music. An accomplished pianist and wonderful singer, Brenda has been an inspiration to all who work with her, or simply know her.

S. William Snover, Bell Choir Director

Bill has been a very active member of the church serving as a Church Council member, a member of the Finance Ministry for many years, serves as chairperson of the Administration Ministry, a member of the choir, volunteers his time and talents in many other ways for the church, and he serves as director of our Bell Choir. The Bell Choir blesses us with their talents for worship and special services.  They play at the Live Nativity, and during the seasons of Christmas and Easter.

Ronald Kline, Organist 

Ron joined us as our organist in the spring of 2005 and became a member of Pine Street in 2007. A self taught musician and organ "fanatic", Ron previously served as organist at a Lutheran Church in Hammonton, New Jersey for 32 years. Ron also sings in our choir, plays in our bell choir, serves on Church Council, and actively volunteers his time to help the various activities of the church.  Ron is interested in expanding his role in the church, and continuously seeks new challenges and opportunities to serve PSELC. He is a retired teacher, previously employed by the New Jersey prison system.

Roger Watts, Custodian 

Roger became our custodian in 2007 and has done a wonderful job of maintaining and caring for our physical facilities. He is often accompanied and assisted by his lovely wife, Nancy. Roger is a member of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in MIlton. Roger and Nancy have participated in many social and worship events with us. Roger is retired, having worked at both ACF in Milton and Sprout-Waldron-Andritz in Muncy. He enjoys doing mission work, has made three church sponsored trips to Mississippi doing clean-up and reconstruction following hurricane Katrina. Nancy is a retired night supervisor from the housekeeping department at Geisinger, and uses her talents to make sure Roger doesn't leave any dirt behind.

Deb Munson, Secretary 

Deb started her secretarial duties in December, 1994. She has literally been the glue that has held us together during times of transitions, and has been the loyal, dedicated and loving face of Pine Street Lutheran Church for members, volunteers, visitors, and vendors who come into the office. Even though Deb is a member of Zion Lutheran Church in her home community of Turbotville, she is truly a member of our spiritual family in all senses of the word.
