Joel Kime - Pastor (joel.kime@findfaithhere.org)

Michelle and I are beginning our ninth year of ministry at Faith Church, but third as Pastor. I graduated from Lancaster Bible College with a Bachelor of Science in Bible and Missions. I have been on the “eternity” plan at Evangelical Theological Seminary, and it felt so good to graduate with an MDiv in May 2010. Prior to coming to Faith Church as Youth/Associate Pastor, we served as church-planting missionaries in Kingston, Jamaica, with the Island Missionary Society. We are the parents of four children. If you catch me in a free moment, I’ll probably be reading a book, listening to U2 or REM, playing sports or Legos with my kids, enjoying a movie with Michelle or rooting for the Phillies or Redskins! More likely you’ll find Michelle and I talking about God’s heart for the oppressed and how we Americans can live the Gospel. We are so excited about how Faith Church is becoming a church that beats after God’s heart, removing the chains of injustice, freeing the captives, preaching the good news, feeding the poor, discipling the believers, praying for the world.

Ryan McGinnis - Youth Pastor (ryan.mcginnis@findfaithhere.org)

Ryan McGinnis was born in Coatesville, PA and was raised in Reinholds, PA. Ryan graduated from Cocalico High School in 2003 after attending the Lancaster County Career and Technology Institute where he studied auto mechanics.

Ryan graduated from Lancaster Bible College in December 2008 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Bible with an emphasis in pastoral ministry. Before coming to Faith Church, Ryan was employed by Hillside Custom Machining, Welding and Fabricating. While at LBC Ryan met Amanda, and they were married a few years later. Amanda was born in Hershey, PA and lived in Elizabethtown, PA for most of her life. She graduated from Lower Dauphin High School in 2004 and then attended Washington Bible College for the Fall semester of 2004. Amanda transferred to Lancaster Bible College in the Spring of 2005 (just in time to meet Ryan) as a music education major. Amanda worked in the Registrar’s office at LBC during her time as a student and gave trolley tours through Hershey, PA on the weekends. Amanda also graduated from LBC in December 2008 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Bible with an emphasis in Music Education, in addition to receiving Pennsylvania teaching certification. Since then she has been working as a substitute music teacher since graduation as well as working as a part time teller at Graystone Bank in Lancaster. Ryan and Amanda recently purchased a home in Lancaster City and they are excited that God has brought them to Faith Church! Please contact Ryan at ryan.mcginnis@findfaithhere.org.

Jim Gustafson - Church Secretary (jim.gustafson@findfaithhere.org)

I retired from the Social Security Administration in April 2004 having worked for that agency for 33 years. My wife Joyce and I have been living in Lancaster County since 1977. And have been members of Faith Church since 1978. We are both originally from Greentown, Pennsylvania in the Pocono Mountain area in Northeastern Pennsylvania. My wife and I have known each other since before we started 1st grade and went all through school together. We have three children and six grandchildren. I spend as much time as I can playing golf, and doing things with my grandchildren. I also enjoy woodworking in my shop, and collecting model trains. I am happy to be a part of the church staff here at Faith and hope to fulfill my duties in a manner that is pleasing to God and everyone here at Faith Church.

Sheri Garver - Church Custodian (sheri.garver@findfaithhere.org)

I attended Kutztown University and have a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education/Mathematics. I taught high school math at Solanco High School before resigning to start a family with my husband, Tyler. Besides being the church custodian (believe it or not, I actually enjoy cleaning and it gets me out of my own home for a few hours!!) I am a full time mother of three boys. My husband owns a landscaping business, and on occasion I can be caught helping him out as well. I was born and raised in Lancaster County and have attended Faith Church since birth.
