About

My name is Jan Puterbaugh, I am a Pastor Emeritus at LifePoint Christian Church in Lake Mary, Florida; retired Gulf War Army veteran; am very passionate about life and my family.

I was ordained in the Christian Church in Jan of 2007 after many years of passionate service. As the “Pastor of insane details”, otherwise known as “Associate Pastor”, I have been blessed to be a part of and serve a great faith community and family both at LifePoint and in our local communities of Sanford and Lake Mary. I don’t much care for religion, but I love Jesus, I love God and I love people with all my heart.

My deepest passion and calling in ministry is to work with people that are caught in the web of substance abuse and hopelessness.

Here are a few more of my passions:

— Scripture and study: My Bible (actually, my Bible’s) don’t sit on the shelf — God’s wisdom is committing to my heart.
— Writing! I love to write and am publishing my first book in September of 2018. I invite you to read more about The Exodus of Our Lives: Finding Your Promised Land here.
— Coffee, breakfast in general, smoked ribs, and a good German beer (or Belgian Trappist beer) while we do our man thing out on the smoker.
— Guitar and Bass : I was blessed to lead a band,  Vicar Bry Band,  that played for the homeless and less fortunate every Wednesday evening for over 9 years.
— Audio Engineering: I have a home project studio, The Jamminstation.
— I love orienteering….okay, most people don’t have a clue what that is….it’s map reading and land navigation with a compass and a map.
