Pastor Jim Cassidy has served the congregation since December of 2006. He was converted in college by the grace of God and sensed an immediate call to the ministry. After graduating from Westminster Theological Seminary in 2002 he accepted the call from the OPC congregation in Johnsown, PA where he was ordained to the gospel ministry. Pastor Jim is currently in the Ph.D program at Westminster focusing on Systematic Theology.
Rev. Jeffrey C. Waddington has served as the teacher of the congregation since January 2008 when he was called and ordained. Rev. Waddington is a graduate from Westminster Theological Seminary and is currently a Ph.D candidate at Westminster in Historical and Theological studies. The subject of his dissertation research is the apologetics of Jonathan Edwards.
Elders of the Congregation
Elder Jesse Denton has served the congregation for many years - in fact since the 1940's! Jesse served in the armed forces during World War II and has served as the chaplain for the local fire department until his recent retirement. Jesse and his wife Mabel (a charter member of the OPC!) remain actively involved in the life of the church
Elder Jerry Sisto is the newest member of the session. Raised in Brooklyn, NY he was converted at a young age through the ministry of a local youth group. Since then he has served in many different capacities in various churches throughout the region. He came to an understanding of the doctrines of grace through the ministries of John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, James Boice, and - he will tell you - simply through reading his Bible. He lives in Clinton with his wife and three children.
