We are super excited to introduce our new pastor, Pastor Jim Mimidis and his wife, Tarella. They arrived January 17, 2026. Keep scrolling to learn more.

Words from Pastor Jim…I am a pastor who served twenty-four years at my hometown church and ran Bible studies in the local prison for five. I've been with Tarella over forty-three years—she teaches voice, piano, and directs choirs. We raised three great kids who are married  and now have five grandchildren. We love the outdoors and still hit the trails hiking, biking, and discovering new adventures. We are very excited about being at Abbe and serving the Lord in Clymer!

Elders

Elders are set apart for a ministry of watchful and responsible care for the welfare and order of the church.

They have oversight of all members, including one another, the deacons, and the ministers, equipping everyone to live in harmony with God’s Word.
They ensure the Word of God is rightly proclaimed and taught, and the sacraments faithfully administered.

Elders assist the ministers with their good counsel, and serve all Christians with advice, consolation, and encouragement.

DEACONS

Deacons are set apart for a ministry of mercy, service, and outreach.

They gather gifts and offerings, care for them faithfully, and distribute them with wisdom and compassion to persons in need and for purposes that advance God’s kingdom on earth.

Deacons visit and comfort the distressed, provide for whatever necessities may arise, and assist the congregation at services of worship.
