Joe Rubino, Community Outreach Minister
Hi, I'm Joe. My wife Jill and I have two kids, Nick and Adrianna, and a dog. After working at Parkview for four years, we moved and served in Youth Ministry in Painesville, Ohio for almost six years. In the Summer of 2010 we moved back to Wooster to serve with those seeking shelter and rehabilitation. I love having a job where I get to meet people everyday who may not know much about religion but are looking to know more about how much they matter to God. For fun, we love spending time together as a family, watching too much football, and begging for Buckeyes and Browns tickets.
