John Buckley | Lead Elder | jbuckley@upccmail.org

Born and raised in the midwest, Pastor John has been here in southeastern, PA since 1995. During his years of ministry, God has clearly directed his path serving first as a student pastor, then administrative pastor, and now lead pastor. Pastor John was called to "the Valley” in 2009 where he and his family quickly fell in love with the area and made it their home. If you could sum up Pastor John’s heart and passion in ministry, it would be “relational”. Pastor John challenges the people of UPCC to develop deep relationships for the purpose of loving God and loving others. If you would like to learn more about Pastor John, you can follow his blog by clicking here, or email him.

Bryan Raught | Lead Pastor, 2|42 Community Church | braught@242cc.org

After serving for 8 years as Youth/Family Pastor at UPCC, God called Bryan to the role of lead pastor and church planter. In September of 2019, 2|42 Community Church was planted in Boyertown, PA as a replication of the passion and values of UPCC.

Bryan grew up in Pottstown, PA and currently lives in Bally, PA with his wife Kristen and two boys (Brayden and Brody). Bryan loves Philadelphia sports, a good book, and spending time with people. We are excited to support Bryan and 2|42 as they seek to impact the Boyertown community with the good news of Jesus Christ.
