Reverend Jeff Munnis, Senior Pastor and Interim Minister
I am excited to be serving St. John’s Grace UCC as Senior Pastor and Interim Minister. The things I am passionate about: the ministry interests that my wife Stelli and I share (Stelli has a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology, and she is fiercely committed to spiritual growth and transformation), spiritual leadership and transitional ministry (Ordained in the United Church of Christ, Master of Divinity from Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California).
I love my extensive family. I have three daughters from my first marriage: two that live in Florida and one living in Colorado. All three daughters are married and I have seven grandchildren. Stelli and I will be married twenty-four years in November of 2025. Through her I have family members in Texas, Florida, Nicaragua, Cuba and Spain. The gift that all of these human beings are to me cannot be measured. I am so very blessed by their love.
Stelli and I have two Whippets: Brady and Appa. The joy of their presence has been a blessing in ways that we never imagined when we decided to bring them into our lives.
Other things that you will hear me talk about and share from time to time: Mysticism and the direct experience of God (special studies of Emmanel Swedenborg, the mystic Ibn Arabi, and phenomenology). Writing, poetry and art (I have an MFA in Creative Writing, Goddard College, Vermont). Music (studied classical guitar, badly out of practice, but I play from time to time).
