Community Care Pastor
Hi, I'm Pastor Boz. I grew up going to church since I was born, and as I got older I felt a strong calling from God to become a pastor and plant churches. After high school I served as a youth leader, and two years later I also graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology.
I'm honored to lead the Community Care Team because I want to help people through some of their darkest times. Over the past years, I've been through a lot: getting wrongfully fired from my job, being diagnosed with MS, and watching my wife go through countless health issues. Through it all though, I have seen God at work in my life, and I want to see others allow God to help them like he helped me.

Hi, I’m Camenor also known as Cameron. I grew up in Lancaster, PA and I currently work in sales for an Amish-owned company. I also work at my local church a couple of days a week as the worship director. I have a beautiful wife named Mary Catherine and a daughter named Lula Mae.
I had the privilege of meeting Jesus at a fairly early age of 10. I didn’t truly start to take my faith seriously until I was about 18 years old. I have found that I really don’t have all the answers, but I’m in a relationship with the God who does. He cares deeply about our burdens, and he makes it clear he wants to comfort us in times of need. I have walked with people through addiction, anxiety, and relational problems. We all go through seasons of loneliness, and my hope is that I can be there for people just like so many people have been there for me.

Hi, I’m Big Ben and I live in Northern Maine with my teenaged son. I’ve been a gamer my whole life. Gaming used to be my escape. I lost thirteen years of my life self-medicating and fighting a losing battle with depression and anxiety. I was bullied and really just didn’t like myself. Virtual realities were a lot more fun than my own. Eight years ago, Jesus changed my whole life. Where there used to be emptiness in me, now there is hope and purpose.
In the eight years that I have been clean and sober, I graduated from Bible College with a degree in theology and a minor in pastoral studies. I joined the Community Care team to help people deal with some of the things that I went through. I may not have all the answers, but I can at least provide a listening ear. I’ve dealt with a lot of things in life, more bad than good and I’ve learned how to lean on God to help me get through them. I just want to use the gifts and abilities that God has given me to help the people in this community.

Hi, I'm The Edge or I also go by Mercy as that's my gift. I'm living in Alabama, working in IT consulting, and married to my pastry chef wife. After struggling with depression and video game addiction some years ago, I learned to lean on Jesus completely and He has changed my life for the better.
I've served churches in many ways over my life, from video directing to leading Bible studies to Community Care. When I went through the hardest times in my life, I didn't have anyone I could turn to, and I want to care for others because no one should be alone in their lowest times. I believe that through Jesus, we can find our God-given design and our reason for being in this world, and I want to help everyone discover their purpose.
