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.

Kevin Bennett

Elder, Assistant Pastor

kbennett@upcc.church

Kevin was born and raised in Lansdale, PA and has spent most of his adult life in the area. He is married to his wife, Jill ('98), and blessed with 2 children, Rachel and Jared. Kevin completed 3 years of study in Bible and Youth Ministry at Phila College of Bible before transferring to and graduating from Colorado Christian University ('01) with a management degree focused on Non-profit and Church ministry. He was on staff at 2 churches (Harleysville PA, Colorado Springs CO) before heading back to the secular working world where his desire was to influence the non-believing world with the good news of the Gospel of grace while serving in lay leadership roles in the local church. Bringing years of church leadership experience, Kevin and family are excited to see how the Lord will continue to use them at UPCC and in our surrounding community.
