Staff

Pastoral Staff:
Our pastoral staff at St. Peter’s are the lead equippers of our church body. They teach, preach, lead, and care for the people of our church. We believe that God calls elders  to serve as the spiritual overseers of the church, and we believe that all of our elders (volunteer and staff) serve in this vital role. However, our staff elders prioritize equipping others for gospel ministry in addition to their other ministerial duties. 
 
Administrative Staff:
Our administrative staff at St. Peter’s help our community to stay organized and help to make effective communication happen week in and week out.

Hi and welcome to our church. I’ve been a Pastor here for 15+ years and I praise God for the wonderful church family that we have. I have a beautiful and wonderful wife, Heidi, and two grown children, Gretchen, who is married to the love of her life Ryan, and Jacob, who is the Associate Pastor at Crossview Missional Church in Huntingdon County. Jacob is married to the love of his life Chelsea. In my spare time, I enjoy running, hunting, and handgun shooting. We love to vacation at the mountains as well as the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
