St John the Divine Staff

St John The Divine Church Staff

Meet our fantastic team.

The staff of St John’s consists of paid and volunteer staff. Each of them aims to make St John the Divine the best we can.

Fr. Matthew Buterbaugh

Rev. Matthew Buterbaugh

Priest

The Rev. Matthew L. Buterbaugh was called to be the Interim Rector of St. John the Divine to lead the congregation through an eighteen-month discernment process. 

Fr. Matthew is a lifelong Episcopalian from Kansas and has served in the Diocese of Milwaukee for nearly a decade.  

He has 15 years of experience in parish leadership. He is currently completing a Doctor of Ministry in Congregational Development from Bexley-Seabury Federation and has training in conflict resolution and mediation.

As a former missionary in Latin America, Fr. Matthew is also fluent in Spanish. He comes to St. John the Divine with open ears and an open heart to learn as much as teaching during his time with the parish.

    Kevin

    Kevin P Monteith

    Organist and Digital Presence Director

    Kevin P. Monteith came to St John’s in 1995 as an usher for a wedding. After the wedding rehearsal, he got permission to play the organ. While he enjoyed it, he did not think anything would come of the event.

    A few weeks later, Fr Dean, the priest, asked if he wanted to play the organ during the week to keep it going, and one of his dreams came true. Not too long later, he started to play for the 8 am service and never left.

    Besides playing the organ, Kevin wears many hats, like setting the church up for services, maintenance, websites and social media, video, and much more.

    Besides music, Kevin enjoys traveling and spending time with his nephew and human and fur nieces. He also is the “Kev” of Travels with Kev, where he helps people travel, mainly by rail.

      Paul Haynes

      Office Volunteer and more

      Paul Haynes helps keep the church ticking! He makes sure the phone messages and emails get answered, the mail is dealt with, service aids get put together, and he takes the phrase “other duties as assigned” seriously.

        Sharon Twist

        Book Keeper and more

        Sharon Twist helps ensure our bills get paid and deposits make it into the correct accounts.

        She also is one of our readers and morning prayer leaders.

          Our Church’s Lay Leadership

          Besides these fine people, St John’s has a group of pledging church members who act as our “board of directors,” This group is known as the Vestry.

          This group of people leads the church if there is no priest in charge, and if there is, they work with the priest.
