JEnelle Gross
Director of Children's Ministries
Greetings! My name is Jenelle Gross and I am the Children’s Director here at St. John’s. My family and I have been a part of the W.O.W Wednesday night program since 2010. Prior to becoming the Children’s Director in June of 2018, I volunteered for several years teaching the W.O.W program and VBS.
I live in Coldwater, Ohio with my husband Jeremy and our five children Rudi, TJ, Jenessa, and twin boys Marshel and Beckett. I have earned my associates degree in Early Childhood Education and Bachelors in Intervention Specialist. I taught preschool for 15 years. When I am not at work I love spending time with my family.
I have a passion for teaching and learning. I love to watch young children develop and grow in knowledge and faith. If you ever have a question just ask! My children have always loved the children’s programs here at the Purple Door Church, as I hope your children do as well.

Ingrid tebbe
Director of Youth and Young Adult ministries
Hello! I am the Director of Youth and Young Adults at St. John. Before coming to the Purple Door Church, I attended Miami University, where I studied English Language Arts Education for grades 7-12. As the youth director, I get to connect my background in education to my call to youth ministry. I am grateful for the opportunity to walk with young people in their faith journeys.
I live in Minster, OH with my husband, Joel, and our cat, Bunker. I grew up in New Knoxville, which means I get to spend lots of time with my family, too. In my free time, I love riding my bike, reading, and spending time with friends. Ask me about my favorite podcasts, or send me your recommendations!
I am thankful to serve the youth at the Purple Door Church, and I am excited to follow this path God has chosen for me.
