Pastor Andy joined the servant-leadership team of GBC in March of 2024 and serves as Lead Pastor.  Andy and his wife Michelle were married in 1995 and have three grown children- Jared, Lydia and Noelle. Michelle is a proud mom, teacher and nationally licensed soccer coach. Andy’s ministry experience includes staff positions of youth pastor and associate pastor as well as Senior Pastor; in addition to his pastoral roles, Andy has also served in regional and national ministry roles. In whatever role he serves in, his most enjoyable responsibility is always preaching The Word.

Andy graduated from Faith Heritage High School in Syracuse, NY; then attended Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA where he received his B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Youth Ministry; he eventually completed his Master of Divinity degree at Evangelical School of Theology in Myerstown, PA. Andy also holds multiple certifications in church assessment processes, premarital counseling tools/assessments, and leadership assessment/development tools.

In addition to family and ministry, Pastor Andy enjoys refereeing soccer, hunting, fishing, and shooting trap, skeet, and sporting clays. He is somewhat of a “foodie” and prefers to bypass chain restaurants to find the local joints when possible- he’s always up for a meal together or meeting for coffee to chat about life and The Word (he’ll probably be drinking Diet Coke!) so don’t hesitate to reach out!
