About Us

Background:

I grew up in Glen Rock, a small town in northern NJ, and graduated from Northeastern Bible College in 1975 with a B.A. in Biblical Literature and a minor in Christian Education. I met my wife, Laura, at Ringwood Baptist Church (NJ) in 1975, and we were married in November of 1976. We have 3 children, Stephen (Clair), Christy (Isaac), Cindy (Dan), and seven grandchildren.

Salvation & Ministry Journey:

I trusted Christ as my Savior during my later senior high school years. I began serving in ministry at Ringwood Baptist Church and then at Faith Community Church in Rosyln, PA. I served various roles including Administrator of Faith Christian School and Associate Pastor. I resigned in 2017, and we moved to Center Valley, where we now live with our daughter Cindy!

Favorite Verse:

Psalm 121 meant a great deal to me during a particularly difficult period and still does.

Hobbies:

Baseball! I love watching it, reading it, and used to collect baseball cards. Laura and I enjoy watching various British TV programs about home renovations. We feel we have watched enough of these to be able to be expert deck builders should the need ever arise!

Background:

I grew up in Niceville, FL, and moved to Madison, AL around the time I turned 9. There, I met my wife, Katie, attended college, and got married in August 2020. Katie and I welcomed our son, Judah, in March of 2025, and it is our joy to be foster parents as well. I graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) with a Bachelor's in Business Management. I received my Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where I am also working on my Doctor of Ministry (DMin) in Expositional Preaching.

Salvation & Ministry Journey:

I am joyfully a product of faithful parents who sought to raise me with an understanding of my sin and the gospel of Jesus Christ. With that, I came to faith and was baptized in childhood. I began to feel the Lord calling me to ministry when I was in middle school. When I finished high school, my local church invited me on staff as the Student Ministry Intern and began teaching me in the ways of theology and providing me with hands-on ministry experience. Upon graduating from college, and the completion of the four-year internship, the Lord called me to Calvary Bible Fellowship, where I have enjoyed serving on the pastoral staff since August 2020.

Favorite Verse:

Matthew 11:28-30 where Jesus describes Himself as gentle and lowly and His burden as light. This is the only passage in scripture where Jesus describes His heart.

Hobbies:

Golfing, reading, video games, playing sports with my kids, grilling/smoking meat, and trail walking are all current hobbies, but they are constantly changing! I also love the Phillies, New England Patriots, and Florida Gators!

Background:

I grew up in northern Alabama (Huntsville), and graduated from Athens State University with a degree in Religious Studies. I am currently working towards my Master of Divinity at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I met my wife, Kassidy, in Huntsville in 2019. We were married in 2022, and have a daughter named Jensen.

Salvation & Ministry Journey:

The Lord brought me to saving faith at a young age (7-8 years old). I discerned the call into vocational ministry in my college years. Upon graduation, I accepted a full-time position in Fort Myers, FL serving as the Operations Director at Fort Myers Community Church. The Lord led my family to Calvary Bible Fellowship in March of 2025 where I now serve.

Favorite Verse:

Isaiah 59:1 "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, or His ear dull that it cannot hear."

Hobbies:

Golf, binge watching a good TV show with Kassidy, reading, and watching my favorite sports teams (Pittsburgh Steelers, St. Louis Cardinals)

Loving others as ourselves starts with serving those who visit our church by providing care to those who need it. It then grows and extends out into the community, being a blessing in Coopersburg and throughout the world.

Calvary has only a few full time Pastors, but hundreds of us are school teachers, soccer coaches, food bank volunteers, mechanics, pilots, nurses, and business people who are living out their faith in everyday life. We’re caring for the elderly, teaching kids, serving in politics, visiting prisons, and speaking up for the least of these.
