Joan Zeberlein

Director of Connections & Volunteer Engagement

Joan was born and raised in, as she describes it, “the very small town of Smethport, PA,” which borders New York State. Joan grew up in the church but, as she states, “I knew about God, but I didn’t know Him.” Joan credits special people God put on her path and the Rick Warren book, The Purpose Driven Life, for helping her to realize that God desired a personal relationship with her.  

Joan served part-time as the Director of Women's Ministries for 14 years and in 2019, she joined the staff full-time. She loves her role as Director of Connections and Volunteer Engagement and is passionate about serving out of her gifting. Her heart for fostering connections and encouraging involvement helps to create an environment where others feel valued and empowered to serve. Joan is extremely at ease whether building and leading serving teams or welcoming and following up with new people that God brings through the doors of Grace Point.  

Joan’s life verse is Romans 8:38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
