Pastor Elizabeth (Liz) has been on staff at Grace Point Church of the Nazarene since September 2022. She surrendered her life to Jesus at the age of sixteen and has been leading worship in various churches, camps, and contexts ever since. She attended Trevecca Nazarene University and graduated in 2016 with a major in worship arts. After serving in ministry in California, she eventually found herself in Pennsylvania in 2017 after marrying her husband Josiah. Although Liz is from Tennessee and Josiah is from Washington, Pennsylvania is now home and they love being a part of this community where they are raising their son, Emerson. Liz has a passion and heart to help lead others into a life of freedom and hope that is found in Jesus.

Administrative Assistant“After her time in the Army, Pam worked as a Systems Analyst for over 16 years before taking some time off to raise her 2 daughters. Pam has been serving in the church office since September 2001 in several different capacities. In the beginning it was finance and general bookkeeping and office management. Now as an Administrative Assistant, Pam loves her job because it gives her opportunities to serve in many ministries of the church. On top of helping to keep things going in the office, on the side Pam is currently serving on the worship team, the Women’s Ministry council and oversees our Sunday counter ministry. Her favorite jobs include ‘getting her hands dirty’ working on setwork for weekly services, holidays, and children’s events. “
