June 15, 2025 // The Whole Body // Autism and the Church

We were please to welcome Janeen Bertsche Johnson to speak to us via zoom this Sunday as part of our series The Whole Body: Towards Deeper Inclusion for All of Us.

Janeen Bertsche Johnson has been campus pastor at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, Indiana for 30 years, and also has roles as admissions counselor, alumni director, and core adjunct faculty. She is in her final year of AMBS' Doctor of Ministry program, doing her dissertation on "Healing from Shame of Difficult Ministry Endings." Janeen and her husband Barry have two adult children and two grandsons.

Janeen's presentation on "Autism and the Church" grows out of her 25 years experience with a daughter on the autism spectrum. For several years, she was one of the leaders of the Goshen (IN) Autism Parent Group, which provided resources and support to family members of autistic children and youth.
