Simon Bartos
sbartos@medinacommunitychurch.orgSimon serves as our Lead Pastor, answering God's call to shepherd this congregation in January 2026. Called to pastoral ministry in 2019 and ordained in 2021, Simon has years of faithful ministry experience serving in his hometown of Medina.
Raised in a Christian home as a pastor's kid, Simon came to saving faith at a young age. He holds a bachelor's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering (2016) and a master's in Engineering Leadership (2019), both from The Ohio State University, and is a registered Professional Engineer. He is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity at Emmaus Theological Seminary in Cleveland Heights.
He and his wife Lauren, whom he met as teenagers at Medina High School, are grateful to be raising their four children in the community where they both grew up. When not studying, preaching, or serving the church, you can find him enjoying time with his family, reading, or writing.
