Meet our Assistant Pastor:
Pastor Doug Hammack has joined our staff in March 2008. He is a gifted musician who loves to worship. That passion is conveyed to Children and Youth every week. Along with his wife Kathy, their two children, Andrew and Becca and the great team of volunteers, the Word of God is imparted to children through a variety of drama, puppets, multimedia, music, “Worship on the Move”, stories and more. Pastor Doug also leads H2O Student Ministry with a fantastic team of Adult sponsors and student leaders. You will also find him playing Bass, guitar, or singing with any of the groups. He and his wife are graduates of Valley Forge Christian College and have ministered from Ohio to Wisconsin to New York and most recently from Virginia, but are very happy to be back North again.

Starting a Greeter Program
Four years ago I accepted the challenge of evangelism chairperson for our church. One of the first programs the pastor and I developed was the Sunday morning greeter program. -
Motivating the Right Person into the Right Ministry
One of the greatest challenges for most leaders is selecting and motivating the right people into the right ministry positions in hopes of minimizing turnover and frustration. Even in the smaller church with limited personnel, it is important to coordinate people and ministry as much as possible. -
“I TRIED, BUT NO ONE EVER CALLED ME”
“I tried, but no one ever called me” are painful words for a leader who has much work to do and not enough people willing to do it. These words are painful for the person who wanted to contribute, but was never called. These are also painful words for a person who is committed to helping people connect and contribute in meaningful ways within the church.
