Pastors & Staff

Reverend Paul Gausmann

Pastor

Pastor Paul has been active in the church since his previously inactive family brought him to regular worship when he was about nine years old. An enthusiastic proclaimer of the Good News, he injects humor, enthusiasm and creativity into the life of the congregation. Having moved about ten times while he was growing up, Paul welcomes visitors to the congregation as do the other members of this warm congregation. Paul holds degrees from Gettysburg College, the University of Northern Iowa and the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. He also enjoys being a granddad, travel, walking and reading and after over years still loves being a parish pastor. Paul feels very blessed to be working with his wife of 30 plus years, Sally, partnering with her to share the truth of the Gospel to countless people.
Pastor Paul loves reading and proclaiming the Word of God and one of his many favorite verses is Isaiah 64:8, “But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.”

A native of Johnstown, Pennsylvania Pastor Sally has degrees from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. She and Pastor Paul are the proud parents of two adult children and the grandparents of three beautiful little girls, and two handsome little boys.

Malinda Grube

CYC Director

I’ve been a member of Saint Paul Lutheran Church since birth. My involvement in Youth Group and various church activities is where my passion for teaching started. I graduated from Pennsylvania College of Technology with a degree in Early Childhood Education and have been working in the field for 10+ years. Faith is a huge component of my life, but I also enjoy spending time with my family, running, hiking, hunting, PSU football and cheering on my husband in sprint car racing.
