Bob Kloos

Most importantly, Bob married Jean and together they had two great kids, David and Sarah who have taught Bob all he knows about being a dad.

In 1988, Jean and Bob were two of five co-founders of Beacon Street performing arts in ministry, an effort to proclaim the Good News using the performing arts. Bob was the artistic director and sole performer before Beacon Street surrendered to another calling. In September
of 2017, Bob was named pastor and administrator of the Community of Saint Peter in Cleveland until he retired in 2024.

Most of what Bob has learned about ministry and the arts he learned from the very people he set out to serve beginning in the 70’s. He believes the arts combine proclaiming the Gospel and encouraging discipleship more effectively for more ages in more settings than anything else.

Besides his experience with Beacon Street, Bob enjoyed post-graduate studies at Saint Mary Seminary in Cleveland and seventeen years of service in parish and campus ministry. He was raised in Willoughby, OH by two fine parents, so his success was assured.
