Our Staff

Background: I grew up in Southern New Jersey and enjoyed many summers on the shore and the wonderful taste of fresh Jersey corn. In my free time I enjoy walking with my wife, reading, playing golf and tennis. One of my favorite past times is watching the Pittsburgh Steelers win Super Bowls!

Education: I have a BS in Business Management from Westfield State College in Massachusetts and a Master of Divinity degree in pastoral ministry from the Bethel Seminary of the East. I also have earned a certificate of leadership from the Ministry Advantage Pastoral Coaching System.

Family: I met my wife Valerie while attending seminary and we married in December of 1991. Since then we have been blessed with five children which fills our home with many joys and blessings. One of the most important things about our family is that we seek to honor the Lord and each other as we live our lives together.

Background: I grew up in the Poconos, and spent my whole childhood in the same house, one my parents built as I was growing up. Every summer we go to our cabin in the Delaware State Forest to fish, read, swim, kayak and relax. Apart from that I love traversing through nature all year round – whether hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, or biking. In my spare time I enjoy writing poetry, playing music, reading, exploring and playing in the snow. 

Education: In 2005 I graduated from high school and headed off to college. I spent one year of schooling at Northampton Community College and then transferred to Lancaster Bible College where I earned a B.A. in Bible/Student Ministry in 2009.

Family: My wife Antonia, and I got married in the woods behind my parent’s house in the summer of 2013.  We have a son, Hobbes, a daughter, Josephine, and a dog named ‘Boo” Radley.  Together, Antonia and I love to explore nature, write poetry, read books our loud together, stargaze, dance, sketch / paint, and adventure together.  We live on an Orchard in the Poconos and enjoy harvest wild fruit all summer long.

Background: I was raised in Shelton, Connecticut and spent my high school years in Lakeville, Minnesota. I enjoy playing sports, getting together with friends, reading, and watching movies and football (Go Eagles!). I established Foundations Christian Counseling Services in 2002 where I presently serve as Director and as a counselor.  Feel free to visit my blog here.

Education: I earned a BA in Family Studies from Messiah College (1996) and a Masters of Arts in Counseling from Biblical Seminary (2002).

Family: I met my wife, Andrea, at Messiah College and we have been married since November, 1996. Together we have twin boys, Benjamin and Caleb (born 2001). Our boys love to play sports, watch football on TV, and spend time together as a family. Andrea enjoys reading, scrap-booking, and leading various ministries at church.

Background: I grew up in the area, and graduated from Pleasant Valley High School.

Education: I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America with an AOS in culinary arts, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BS in dietetics. I’ve worked in the kitchen in various restaurants, resorts, and as an assistant food service director for a continuous care facility located in Sellersville, PA.  Later, when my family was still young I took a position as an office manager for a local resort in the Poconos.  I believe the Lord has guided me through various work experiences in life in preparation to be a servant for Him in the West End.

Family: My husband Chris, also from the area, and I have been married for over 25 years and we have 3 grown children, the youngest in college. I enjoy reading, cooking, and time with my family.

Background: I was raised in PA with 7 siblings.  I learned many lessons on sharing and making the best of any situation. We found Cornerstone Community Church through the booth at the West End Fair and have been part of the Cornerstone Family since 2005.
