Before joining PUMC as our pastor in July of 2024, Pastor Mike served a two-point charge as the senior pastor at the Dennisville and Tuckahoe United Methodist Churches.  Before that, he served as the associate pastor at the Aldine UMC (working with former PUMC Associate Pastor Don Polk).

Mike is originally from Shamokin PA, and met his wife (and ministry partner) Jackie in college.  They are the thankful parents of two miracles:  Micha and Grace.

Pastor Mike is passionate about music;  he plays guitar, drums, and writes his own songs.  He’s an Eagles and Phillies fan, but by far, he’s a bigger fan of Jesus!  

Our organist/director of music is a life-long member of our church. Mrs. Crispin was born and raised in Pitman, and being a part of the church’s music program began in our Junior Choir. She was a student of organ under long-time choir director/organist, Mr. Charles S. Ware. Through his direction and teaching, Mrs Crispin served as an accompanist for various choirs within the church. At the age of 16, she was called upon to be the choir director-organist of the Clayton Presbyterian Church, where she served for two years.

Mrs Crispin entered Glassboro State College, pursuing a degree in Music Education, with a concentration in vocal music and organ. She was a student of organ under Dr. Hoyle Carpenter and Dr. Keith Chapman. While attending Glassboro State College, (now Rowan University), she was called to the position of organist at the First Presbyterian Church of Pitman, serving under choir director, Clarence Miller. Upon graduation in 1978, she began her teaching career, and also returned “home” to serve as the organist/music director of the Pitman United Methodist Church. For the past thirty plus years, Mrs Crispin has led our choirs and congregation in the worship of God through music. Continuing to lead us in all styles of music from the classics to the contemporary, she shares her love of the Lord and uses His gift of music to His glory!

Mrs Crispin also teaches general and vocal music at the Pitman Middle School. On a personal note, she is wife to Steve, mother of 4, and grandmother to 7.
