Meet The BT@R Team

Pastor Jack especially likes working with the young, the elderly, and people seeking to learn more about God in their lives. The young because they have so much to gain. The elderly because they have so much to share. The people searching because we can offer them hope.   

​

His desire is for the church to be a welcoming, affirming community of faith always proclaiming the word of Christ, practicing hospitality, offering compassion, and showing God’s sense of care among us, so that we find the good of one another and never doubt the goodness of God.

Pastor Jack enjoys spending time family and friends, cooking, relaxing, hiking, biking, & the beach.

Mark is our organist and choir director.

Leigh has a degree to teach middle and high school history which she used when working as a substitute teacher, and for three years working in special education. Leigh worked as a church secretary for two Lutheran churches and an Episcopal church before becoming a stay-at home mom. While raising her two girls, she spent a lot of time volunteering in their schools, including being the PTG President, and with Girl Scouts as a Troop Leader and Service Unit Manager, along with being on council committees. Leigh also worked for two years prior to working here at two different public libraries.

​

Leigh enjoys growing fruits and vegetables, baking, reading, and visiting historical sites. People would be surprised that one of her favorite music genres is 80’s punk rock. Leigh says her favorite thing about working at BT@R is the variety of things she gets to do.

Joe is our treasurer and serves on BT@R's Church Council. 

Amanda has been working for Rosemont Lutheran Church, now Blessed Trinity Lutheran Church at Rosemont, for over 2 years. She is an artist who hopes for and works for a more peaceful world, through her daily actions, but also through her work with Lehigh-Pocono Committee of Concern (LEPOCO).  BT@R is the kind of open, loving, welcoming community that Amanda feels at home with.

​Debbie grew up in the Lehigh Valley, but currently lives in Erie, PA. She loves to spend time with friends and family, comb the shores of Lake Erie for beach glass, and find any excuse to be outside- bike riding, hiking, skating, & snowshoeing. Debbie's happy place is Lake Erie. People would be surprised to find out she enjoys making her own maple syrup! Her favorite thing about working at BT@R would be the PEOPLE- so welcoming & authentic!
