Meet Pastor Shawn

Meet Pastor Shawn

We are thrilled to welcome Pastor Shawn as Glenvale’s new Lead Pastor, joining us in

November 2025! Shawn’s heart is to help people discover their God-given gifts, step

into the right roles, and thrive as fully devoted followers of Jesus. He believes that we

are better together, and when we’re in the right place, we can better experience the

abundant life Jesus promises.

Shawn comes with his wonderful wife, Bethany, and their son, Josiah. Together, they

love leading worship, walking alongside families, and creating spaces where people can

grow in faith. Bethany, a nurse with a heart for missions, shares Shawn’s passion for

encouraging and empowering others.

Before Glenvale, Shawn served as Associate Pastor at Newville First Church of God

and as Worship Arts Director at Friendship Community Church. Shawn has also been

heavily involved in Camp Yolijwa serving as a counselor and Worship Leader at Youth

Camp and Bible Teacher at 8th Grade Camp. He holds a Master of Arts from Liberty

University, focusing on counseling and executive leadership, and a Bachelor’s in

Christian Ministry from Regent University.

Outside of church, Shawn enjoys reading, coffee chats, campfires, hands-on projects,

and cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles. He looks forward to meeting and connecting

with the Glenvale family and our surrounding community!
