PASTOR Christine Cappetta
Pastor Christine grew up in Wadena, Minnesota and then attended North Park University in Chicago, where she met her husband while majoring in Youth Ministry and minoring in Biblical and Theological Studies. She has served as a Youth Pastor in several places including Chicago, Memphis, St. Cloud Minnesota, and Grand Forks North Dakota.
Pastor Christine and her husband have lived in Sioux City since the spring of 2010 when their oldest daughter, Emma, was born and she began working as the Worship Leader at St. James UMC for about 1½ years. Since then their family has grown by 3 more daughters, Sophia, Bella and Georgia and they have moved to a multi-generational home in Sergeant Bluff with Christine’s parents. During her time in Sioux City, she has served in several roles of leadership for MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) including starting and coordinating a new group and as a Ministry Coach for several groups throughout Western Iowa. She recently received her Local Church Pastor License through the Dakotas Conference and will be completing continuing education as part of that licensing. In her free time, she enjoys reading, cooking and gardening. Together, her family likes to “Grow an Extra Row” for the local Up From the Earth program.
A Word from Pastor Christine
Having personally experienced the joy and hope of God, I want others to also have that!
I am passionate about serving with a group who people who are excited to grow deeper in their faith, where they have a desire to share the love they have experienced, and where there is a call to go out and serve the people of our community and our world!

Prayer Request
Are you unable to make it to church this Sunday? Is there something on your mind or in your heart that you would like Pastor to pray for privately? Just had a random act of joy you would like to give praise to? Are you traveling but still need the love and support of your congregation?
