Jon is married to Mary Beth and has two daughters, Katie and Christy,
two step-sons, Cameron and Ross and three grandchildren, Ashton, Ayden
and Allie.
Jon graduated from Minnesota Bible College (now Crossroads College) and pastored in Cleveland, MN from 1978-1987 and here at Roxbury from 1987-2000. Jon stepped back from the vocational ministry for a time and in 2005 was called to serve again at Roxbury in an Associate capacity.
Jon hopes I Corinthians 15: 10 will define his life, “But by the grace of God I am what I am and his grace to me was not without effect…” Mary Beth and Jon enjoy hiking and biking together, reading, laughing and time with family. Jon also likes most sports, but outside of making divots in a golf course, he watches more than plays.

Diane Casper
Church Secretary
roxbury@churchrox.com
Diane calls our office the “communication center” of the
Church of Christ. Her goal is for the office to be the central nervous
system for the church’s ministries and the communication center
that connects people to ministry and ministry to people.
Diane graduated with the first graduating class of Parker High School in Janesville, Wisconsin; attended Lincoln Christian College for one year; married Terry over 34 years ago; and feels God gave her three wonderful children (Julane, Shawn & Chad).
Diane has been our church’s secretary since 1981. She says of her work: “I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve God and this church through the unique ministry of being the church secretary. Though there are challenging times, no other job provides such a loving, caring and accepting atmosphere.”
