Meet Kelsey Hochstetler, a member of the board of directors with Mennonite Mission Network. Each Mission Network board member brings their unique voice and perspective to the leadership team, and each one is passionate about Mission Network’s guiding vision: to lead, mobilize and equip the church to participate in holistic witness to Jesus Christ in a broken world.  

Kelsey grew up in rural Ohio and attended a Mennonite congregation. She graduated from Hesston College (’08), Goshen (’11) College and the University of Wisconsin Whitewater (’20), where she earned an MBA. 

She has worked with Mennonite World ConferenceWorld Vision and Mennonite Mission Network. Through her work with Mission Network, Kelsey has been reminded that mission work happens as we build bridges “across the street and around the world.” 

That phrase, which compelled Kelsey to serve internationally, also drew her back to rural Ohio, where she lives with her husband, Jeff, and their three daughters. 

In her work, Kelsey enjoys exploring the intersection between business and the greater good. She leads music and attends Berlin Mennonite Church, where her husband is a pastor.
