Pastors
Mark Howard, Pastor
Mark grew up just outside of Sheffield, UK. After studying Physics at University of York, he moved down to London to train as a Bible teacher. In 2006, he moved to Greenwich, CT, to work as an Assistant Pastor and met his wife, Cherilyn. Following his studies at Westminster Theological Seminary, he briefly returned to Greenwich then moved to the Lehigh Valley in 2015 to serve as pastor at West Valley. He and Cherilyn have two daughters, Charissa and Felicity, and a crazy cockapoo called Ginger.
