Staff & Leadership

Staff & Elders

MBC subscribes to the philosophy of shared leadership.
Ministry Directors | Support Staff | Little Footprints Learning Center | Board of Elders

The Pastoral Leadership Team (PLT): MBC subscribes to the philosophy of plurality of leadership. Together, pastors & directors share in the responsibility for leading the day-to-day operations and ministries. Each pastor has specific areas of responsibility and oversight. Together they form a circle of leadership that ensures the mission and policies established by the MBC Elder Board are employed in a way that meets the needs of these areas and recognizes that the spirit of the church is realized when they operate in harmony. This benefits both the pastors and the community.

The Ministry Directors: These spiritually-mature professionals support the church and its leadership by focusing on specific areas of operation. Each of these individuals is guided by the goals of MBC and provides support to the pastoral staff. The biblically-prescribed standards for pastoral leadership give the local church considerable freedom to develop its own model of leadership in order to most effectively reach its community. Various forms, policies and procedures are employed in well governed churches. A church’s history, size, and the stage of development all influence which of the many forms will be the most effective and appropriate for a given organization at a given time.

He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree (English Lit and Theatre) from Eastern University (St. David’s, PA). He went on to earn a Master of Divinity Degree from Denver Seminary (Littleton, CO), where he studied under Dr. Craig Blomberg and Dr. Doug Groothuis. Additionally, he completed a Fellowship through the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and is a Level 1 Certified Biblical Counselor through the Association of Biblical Counselors. His ministry and research interests include marriage and family, apologetics, worldview, culture, ethics and missions as he provides directional leadership for the Underground Sessions ministry at MBC.

Prior to this ministry assignment, he has enjoyed pastoring in other churches in New Jersey and Texas for over 20 years. His background in public speaking and business helps tremendously with leadership and strategic planning and is thrilled to teach the word of God to the people of God for the glory of God. He oversees our Discipleship programs (Small Groups, Adult education, Women’s Ministries, Men’s ministries), as well as our Care ministries (Care Leadership Team, Stephen Ministries, GriefShare).

John Bonaventura Bio

John Bonaventura has been ecstatically married to Callen Bonaventura, a godly & gifted woman, since 2008. Callen is truly John’s best friend. John & Callen have a blessedly full quiver of 5 wonderful children: Aslan, Luna , Jude, Samuel, and Skylar. The Bonaventura family has been attending MBC since 2019 and became members in 2020. They are so thankful to have joined a church that prioritizes believing, preaching, and applying God’s Word. While John has a full-time career in sales, it has been an honor for him to also serve as part-time Director of Worship Music at MBC since 2021.
John was raised in a Bible believing home and has a long history with church music. As a child, he developed an affinity for sacred, traditional harmony and an appreciation for music composition, nurtured by piano lessons. At the age of 14, John began to teach himself electric guitar.
Although John was saved and baptized at a young age, he fell in love with the Lord at around age 27. This was when John learned to be a worshipper first and a musician second. Since then, John has had a hunger for God’s Word, a deep longing to know God, and a desire to see others experience the same grace that he has received.
John embraces a broad spectrum of contemporary musical styles and sounds, using them reverently in a progressive-traditional worship style. The Lord has used all these experiences in John’s life to produce a true heart for worshipping God, and it is his joy to worship The Lord Jesus Christ together with MBC.

Johnny Graves Bio

Johnny Graves is the Director of Youth, Young Adults and Production Ministries here at Millington Baptist Church since 2016.

Johnny is also a local high school coach/teacher at Watchung Hills Regional High School where he coaches Soccer and Volleyball. Johnny is blessed to be married to his wife Shannon, whom he is raising with his 4 children Bennett, Macie, Judah and Caiden.

Rachel Rickershauser Bio

Rachel Rickershauser serves as the Co-Director of Children’s Ministry at Millington Baptist Church, overseeing the elementary classes for 1st through 6th graders. She stepped into this role in 2024 after nearly eight years as the Director of Children’s Ministries, continuing her long-standing commitment to helping kids know and love Jesus.

Rachel holds a Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Pre-Counseling from Moody Bible Institute. During her time at Moody, she served in an after-school program for children in inner-city Chicago and continued on to work at a Christian school with preschoolers. Both were formative experiences that deepened her passion for teaching kids about Jesus at a young age.

Above all, Rachel’s greatest desire is to see children grow closer to Jesus. To support that goal, she is passionate about equipping both parents and teachers to disciple kids in their faith—parents at home, and teachers at church. She also loves planning meaningful events for families and kids (such as our Hare-Raising Egg Party and VBS), supporting parents, and partnering with teachers to create a Sunday experience where kids feel welcomed, engaged, and excited to learn and grow in their faith.

Lenore Tosi Bio

Lenore Tosi serves as Co-Director of Children’s Ministry at Millington Baptist Church, focusing on nursery and preschool-aged children. With a BA in Business Administration from Lycoming College and a background in music, Lenore combines creativity and organization to create a loving, Christ-centered environment for young children.

Before stepping into full-time ministry, Lenore worked in the corporate world and later brought her leadership skills into the church setting. She has over 18 years of experience serving children and families—as a longtime Music Camp Director, Children’s Ministry Assistant, and Interim Children’s Director. She has also volunteered in VBS, Brio, HisKids, Women’s Ministry, and the Worship Team. She has been in her current role since 2024.

As a mother of three adult children, Lenore has walked through every stage of parenting, which has greatly deepened her understanding of early childhood development and the unique needs of young families. She has a heart for encouraging young moms and supporting parents during the early years.

Lenore brings strong organizational and leadership skills to her role, coordinating volunteers, planning curriculum, and managing resources to keep ministry programs running smoothly. Her mission is to help every child feel loved, valued, and excited to learn about Jesus and to partner with parents in laying a strong foundation of faith.

Amy also currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors for the Association for Biblical Higher Education. Her experiences in higher education leadership, student engagement, and program development coupled with her passion for spiritual formation and cultivating a sense of community align with her new role and she is thrilled to join the MBC team this January. Amy holds a B.S. in Psychology from Virginia Tech, a Master of Education from Liberty University, and is a Doctor of Education (Candidate) at Bethel University. Amy and her husband, Warren, have been married for 23 years. Amy loves spending time outdoors at the shore, hiking, gardening, playing pickleball, and creating wire tree sculptures.

Dave Rzewnicki
Facilities Manager

Kristie Gall Bio

Currently serving as the Administrative and Financial Manager at MBC, I’ve worn many hats over the past two years—ranging from Office Manager to Facilities Manager, and acting as an all-around right hand to the team wherever I’m needed. An ongoing project I’m working on includes creating an interactive administrative calendar of events and campus activities, which also encompasses coordinating property maintenance across all three campus buildings and five private homes. Before joining MBC, I spent 18 years working in our family-owned automotive business, where I managed everything from payroll and parts ordering to service writing and the occasional diagnostic call. My background is rooted in hands-on experience rather than formal education, providing me with a practical, real-world understanding of business operations. I’m especially strong in time management, with a talent for prioritizing and organizing multiple projects simultaneously. When I’m not working, my favorite way to recharge is spending time with my family—usually gathered around a big meal and a card game. And if we’re extra blessed, you’ll find us soaking in the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Tim Youtkus Bio

Tim is the Production Manager at Millington Baptist Church in Basking Ridge, NJ.
He is a graduate of Ridge High School in Basking Ridge and also spent time at Manhattan College in the Bronx, where he studied Elementary Education, Sports Media, and Psychology.
Tim has a passion for production, outreach, and youth ministry. He is the co-founder of the current Band of Brothers ministry at MBC and also serves as a youth leader. He oversees live services, creates content, and produces the MBC Unhindered podcast network—which includes three distinct shows designed to equip listeners at the intersection of faith, culture, and real-life discipleship.
Tim is currently pursuing the Colson Fellows Program, a rigorous Christian worldview training course designed to help leaders live and lead faithfully in today’s culture.
He is married to his beautiful wife, Nicole. They were married in May of 2024, and Tim would tell you his favorite moments are the ones spent with her.

Laura Garcell Bio

Laura has been a valued member of Millington Baptist Church for over 40 years. Throughout that time, she has served in numerous roles, including helping to launch the Shared Interest Groups, supporting the office staff as needed, and embracing her role as the church’s unofficial organizer. She is excited to join the MBC team in an official office capacity and looks forward to continuing her service alongside the staff.
