Office Manager Cathy Wallander

Hi, I am Cathy Wallander, the voice you hear on the phone! I enjoy working at First Presbyterian because of the friendly people I get to meet everyday. I live in Manitowoc, with my husband, Greg and a Golden Retriever, Abby. I enjoy photography, scrapbooking, bicycling and spending time with my family and friends. My favorite two quotes are by photographer Ansel Adams: “Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter” and “A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.” I’m always here to serve and help you in any way that I can.

My name is Laurel Hooper and I get the privilege of caring for your children in the Church Nursery. I am a mother and grandmother and have cared for children in my home for years. My hobbies include sewing, reading, and cake decorating. I have recently taken up cooking decorating – some of which have made it into the Church Nursery! One of my motto’s is “happiness isn’t something you experience it is something you remember.” What I like most about working at First Presbyterian Church is the great smiles on all the children.
Nursery Supervisor – Laurel Hooper

Vocal Choirs – Director Ann Herman

Hi! I'm Ann M. Herrmann and I've been the Chancel Choir Director at First Pres since 1998. Out of all the staff at First Pres, I have the best job because I get to work with the best choir in the world. This congregation is truly blessed to have such a dedicated group of musicians. When not directing the choir, I work at Manitowoc Public Library in the Children's Department. My favorite hymn is "Here I Am, Lord" by Daniel L. Schutte and my favorite Bible verse comes from the book of Psalms. Ps. 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."

I am Ann S. Gold, and a lifelong church musician, I am married to Gary and we are parents to two wonderful adults Sarah and Andrew. The exciting part of the work I do for First Presbyterian is discovering the hidden musical talents of the members and enabling them to use those talents in praise to God. I enjoy finding gourmet recipes and preparing them for family and friends. Psalm 121 and Galatians 6 offer me inspiration and comfort.
Bell Choir Director – Ann Gold

I am Peter J. Klein; I live in Two rivers and own a small tax and accounting office. After working with ledgers and numbers during the week playing the organ helps me relax. I see myself as quiet and thorough. I have traveled to Europe three times and enjoy traveling. My greatest hope is that my playing is some small way, can create an atmosphere of reverence in which people can feel a closer relationship with God, and worship him in a better way.
Organist – Peter Klein

Pastor Matt Sauer
Hey! I’m Matt the pastor here at First Presbyterian Church. Serving this congregation and community is a great joy for me. I am a husband to Meredith, a father to Olivia (and new baby coming in February ’08), and a loyal friend to our dog, Malachi. I love to read American History, I collect coins, I love a good steak, and I am an avid TV watcher. The goal of my ministry is to invite people into a relationship with Jesus and then coach them along that journey. One of my favorite Bible passages is Jesus’ last words in the Matthew’s Gospel “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
