Lead Pastor

Pastor of NextGen Ministries

Rick grew up in a Christian home, the son of a pastor, but had a plan for his life that included serving in the U.S. Air Force. When Rick was a sophomore in high school, while attending a student winter retreat, the Lord call him into ministry instead. In response, he attended Lancaster Bible College in Lancaster, PA, where he received his B.S. in Bible and studied Youth Ministry. After graduating, God called him to serve for 16 years in Echo Valley, Pennsylvania as the Pastor to Youth and Families.

In 2014, he and his wife, Jill began to feel the stir of the Holy Spirit to lead everything and follow Him. In 2016, the Lord called him to serve as the Pastor of Worship and Student Ministries here at Christ Community Church. In January 2021, the church voted to affirm his call to be the lead pastor. He gave his first message as the lead pastor on July 4, 2021! What a ride!

Rick loves Jesus and loves to serve Him with Jill, and their 2 kids, Lily and CJ!
