Pastor Greg has served at IBC since February of 2015. He grew up in the Torresdale section of Northeast Philadelphia where he developed his sophisticated accent (it’s pronounced wood-er) and love for the Flyers, Eagles and Phillies. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior as a young boy in Sunday School at Grace Bible Church.
Pastor Greg began his years of ministry at Camp Haluwasa in Hammonton, NJ where he spent five summers on staff. That is where he met his future wife, Maria, and convinced her that Philadelphia College of Bible (now Cairn University) was where the Lord wanted her. It just so happened that Greg was also attending 🙂 They have been married since May 1995 and have been blessed with four now adult daughters (and also two sons-in-law).
Prior to serving at Immanuel, Pastor Greg served as the Children’s Pastor at Fellowship Alliance Chapel in Medford, NJ. He also worked in route sales for Cintas and drove deliveries for a nuclear pharmacy. Camp Haluwasa is also where Pastor Greg first met Pastor Vince back in 1991 and the Lord used that connection to lead us back to teaming up for ministry at Immanuel.
Pastor Greg has a penchant for orange sneakers, cheesesteaks, and bubble hockey. Pastor Greg takes Mark 1:11 to heart, “You are My beloved son; with you I am well pleased.”
