Rev. Robert Balduc
Pastor
Pastor Balduc's favorite Bible verse is Romans 8i:28, And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. He has been St. Peter's pastor since its birth in September of 2006. He and Karla were married on Aug. 11, 1990, in Carrollton, Texas, and spent their honeymoon in Cancun. They have four children, Benjamin, Hannah, Seth and Noah - and a multitude of family pets. He's a proud graduate of Michigan State University and a huge fan of the movie "Godfather I" and the TV show "The Office". After 14 years in marketing with Ford Motor Company during which time he served in various volunteer roles in the churches he attended, he followed God's call into the ministry to be a church planter. He was ordained in June 2005 and called by our "Mother Church", Peace Lutheran in Hurst, to serve on their staff as he laid the foundation for this mission church. His love of Diet Coke fuels his endless energy!
Dr. Rebecca Burton
Concordia Academy
Head of School
Rebecca’s favorite verse is Romans 5:3-5 - More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. She and Robert were married in Painesville, Ohio on June 2, 2000, and they have one daughter, Harper, and one son, Blake. She and her family joined as charter members of the church. In 2007, she joined the St. Peter staff. As the rest of the staff learned at a party, she is REALLY GOOD at Rock Band drumming. She adds, “I’m also good at Mario Kart Wii … two skills in high demand, I know!” She is passionate about education and how it impacts our generation of children. She is also passionate about family and time spent with them. Her favorite part of the staff retreat this year was the paddleboat experience. “We had fun laughing and horsing around. And, we saw competitive sides of people we didn’t know existed!” She loves nachos, sweet tea, and Reeses Pieces and would gladly welcome such gifts!
Rosalie Engelke
Connections Coordinator
Rosalie may be the first person you really get to know at St. Peter, because her job is to help new people get connected! "I feel blessed to have the opportunity to serve God here at St. Peter by using my abilities in my passion area," said Rosalie. She and Doug were married in 1972 in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada, and they are the parents of three adult children, and grandparents of four. The first concert Rosalie remembers going to was Sonny & Cher, "before they were famous." Her favorite worship song is "Heart of Worship" by Matt Redman and her favorite Bible verse is Matthew 6:21, For where your treasure is, there your heart is also.
Michelle Gibson
Music Ministries
Michelle’s favorite Bible verse is For this reason, I kneel before the Father. Ephesians 3:14. “It makes people ask, ‘What reason?’ And I would answer them, ‘ALL reasons!’” She joined the St. Peter staff as the organist for our CLASSIC service in 2008 and became the lead of our music ministries in 2009.

John David Mull
Vicar/Church Planter
Family/Student Life
John David was installed as our Vicar (similar to an intern) in July of 2011 and will be spending a year learning and serving ... and building the foundation of a church to be planted by our onthisrock Church Planting Ministry. In speaking about his wife Stephanie, he says, "It's always good to marry up!" They have been blessed with three children, Caleb, Hailey and Jonah. John David says it is really hard to pick just one Bible verse, but for today, he'll claim 1 Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Naturally, being Texas born and bred, his favorite ice cream is Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla (from Brenham, Texas), his favorite drink is Dr. Pepper (from Waco, Texas), and his favorite sports team is the Dallas Cowboys (from ... well, Dallas, obviously!) John David is passionate about helping Christians live the lives God has called them to and the results – formerly lost people receiving Christ!

Trish’s favorite Bible verse is For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 She is the mother of two beautiful daughters, Emily and Amanda. Her favorite ice cream is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and she loves any movie starring Steven Seagal. She loves watching Criminal Minds … and she can’t live without her computer! She came on staff in February of 2008 and moved into her current position as Church Administrator in May 2010. Her favorite part of the staff retreat was when we all sat around the campfire, late at night. When she wants to talk to God, she likes to be near water – pool or lake, doesn’t matter – or be alone in a church.
