Scott Black Johnston, Senior Pastor

I am a husband, a dad, a friend, a Presbyterian pastor, a comic book reader, and a fan of almost any sport that involves a ball. I am a New Yorker, one of the teeming, type-A masses. Although I also have a soft spot in my heart for the rhythms and people of Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; and Duluth, Minnesota. ... Read more




Randy Weber, Associate Pastor

I am from Wenonah, NJ, and grew up in the Memorial Presbyterian Church there. I actually met my future wife, Cindy, there when we were both in the nursery – she doesn’t remember that, but I do. We got reacquainted at the same church many years later and were married in the fall of 1978. We had only been married for a few months when I heard my call to the ministry. ... Read more

Linda I. Jiménez, Lilly Resident in Ministry

I was born and raised in Vineland, NJ (the birthplace of Welch’s Grape Juice). My childhood memories are mostly filled with music and experiences in church. I come from a line of talented musicians, so family time looked more like jam sessions. We’d fill the living room with the sounds of the saxophone, guitar, trumpets, drums, tambourine, congas and four-part harmonies. ... Read more
