Pastoral Team
Grace Bible Church has two vocational elders who serve as the pastors of the congregation.
Dave Emmons
Senior Pastor
Dave enjoys sports (go Eagles!), music, fishing, and spending time with his family. He holds a B.S. in Bible and an M.S. in Organizational Leadership, both from Cairn University (formerly Philadelphia Biblical University). His passion is for individuals and families in the church to continue to grow up in Christ, exhibiting genuine love, knowledge, and discernment (Phil. 1:9). Dave is married to Makenzie, and they have three children: Luke, Jack, and Mercy.
Matt Weir
Associate Pastor
Matt enjoys hiking/backpacking, biking, playing guitar, reading, journaling, conversation with his wife (Laura), and spending time with his three kids, Adelynn, Ember, and Everett. He holds a B.A. in Bible from Moody Bible Institute. Matt gets excited about people coming to know God more intimately and accurately through the study of the Bible and through relational interaction with Him. He desires to help people behold Jesus in the Gospel in such a way that every area of their life becomes more centered on Him.
Administrative Team
Grace Bible Church employs administrative assistants to help with the daily operations of the church.
Cherié Garven
Administrative Assistant
Cherié and her family have been an integral part of Grace for a long time, but she just recently started working in the office and is the newest addition to our team.

Janell returns to the Church office after a 19-year "hiatus" and is enjoying working in such a fun atmosphere!
