Erin Beeker

Office Assistant - office@zmcva.org

Erin has attended ZMC for the past 5 years and recently took up the role of Office Assistant. Although she grew up in MI, she fell in love with the Shenandoah Valley while getting her Bachelor’s of Nursing at Eastern Mennonite University and now lives here with her family- her husband, Justin, two beautiful children, Luke and Emma, and their dog Maya. Together they enjoy lots of outdoor fun in the Valley and being with family and friends. In addition to working at the church, Erin also works part-time at SRMH as a registered nurse.

Contact Erin if you have announcements or events to add congregational news, need help finding a document, would like to reserve the church space, have questions about the directory, need a key, need something fixed or need supplies. If you have a question and don’t know where to go I’m happy to help!

For individuals seeking baptism at Zion, a child dedication or other special service (anointing, prayer) please contact Lori for further information.
