Rev. Stephen A. Mock

Here is a picture of Rev. Stephen "Steve" Mock, the pastor for our church. Steve began his ministry here in July, 2003. His dedication to his faith and to the church is a strength that we all benefit from. Steve is married to Joan and has two adult children, Sarah and Jason. Steve enjoys his family, sports, reading, classical and contemporary Christian music. He was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and is a longtime Steelers fan. He is a graduate of Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA and received his Masters of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Masschusetts in 1980. Ordained that same year in the Presbyterian Church (USA), Steve has served congregations in Ohio, Kansas and Clearwater, FL. His passion is sharing the good news of God's love in Jesus Christ to the world.
