Meet Our Team

I’m an unlikely person to be a pastor, but God works in mysterious ways. What gets me up in the morning is the chance to partner with God in his transformation of people into their glorious design. My wife, Diane, and I raised two wonderful girls. I’m an avid cyclist, average musician, coffee snob, book addict, DIY fan, and Marine Corps veteran. Let’s chat!

I’m an Atlanta native who loves living in the DMV. I’ve spent over 20 years in ministry, focused on church planting, leadership development, and operational management. I’m passionate about building diverse, justice-oriented communities of faith and helping leaders and teams grow. In my free time, I enjoy learning about the history and mechanics of watches, listening to podcasts, and drinking specialty coffee.

With 18 years of experience in creating contextual worship spaces, I am passionate about creating multicultural worship spaces that embody hospitality and mutuality. The journey of following Jesus is filled with wild turns and twists and I love walking with people as they follow Jesus.

With a professional history in Property Management​, Higher Education Administration, and Student Ministry, my journey has been very rich if not totally unexpected. When not crafting comms, my attention is usually on true crime, reading, cross-stitching (IKR?) or obsessing over the Steelers, Hoyas or PGA tourneys. My husband and son have endless patience.

I am a second generation Korean American with a French last name from my step-father. On my mother’s side, I carry with me five generations of enduring faith, passed down from Korean missionaries. I am an evangelist that longs to see the Gospel being proclaimed to the next generation through the Gospel, the power of the Holy Spirit, and justice.

I am proof that God has a sense of humor. I have degrees in environmental science, experience in corporate brand reputation, government relations, and tv news, yet I’m drawn to ministry and serving families well. I have two fierce and funny daughters, 7 pairs of running shoes and a sourdough recipe that’s worth its weight in gold.

I’ve lived in Maryland most of my life and to prove it I put Old Bay on seafood, pasta, popcorn and scrambled eggs. I enjoy stories, sunshine and time with my nieces and nephews. My hope is for the next generation to not merely know information about God but to know God Himself and to walk with Him in an epic and everyday relationship.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in accounting and management from the University of Maryland. After working in the finance and accounting field for over 35 years, I am now pursuing a new career as a wellness coach. I love connecting with people in a deep and meaningful way. Becoming a certified Fitness Teacher Gospel Preacher, made my interest in fitness and nutrition grow. And my passion for wholeness and helping others improve their well-being and reach their optimal life, became my new mission!

I was born to a loving family in Wheaton, Maryland – Go Knights! I was blessed to be a stay-at-home dad. Helping Erin and Casey become caring and joyful adults was such a gift. I thank God for the blessing and my amazing wife Carolyn. Our Lord came in the flesh, sacrificed himself for us, and wants a personal relationship with me.

I was born in El Salvador and grew up in Mexico. I have five kids, three boys and one girl. I have five grandsons. I’ve been in Maryland for eight years. I love to cook, my job, and traveling. I also enjoy all types of music. My favorite music is cumbia.

Born in Cameroon, and having lived all over, I speak French, Spanish, Douala and English. My journey in Christ began with my children being interested in Powerhouse. Helping and serving others bring me tremendous joy so I hold Colossians 3:23 close to heart.

Born in New Jersey and raised in the Carolinas, I have had the unique experience of being raised by Northerners while being assimilated fully into Southern culture. I thank God every day for his numerous blessings in my life. My B.S. from The Citadel, marriage to Tara, and our six amazing kids would not have been possible without his favor. It brings me great joy to now use my engineering and construction experience for the Lord’s work here at Seneca Creek Community Church.

My interests include finding new places and singing karaoke. My special talent is dancing to cumbia and salsa. My life’s passion is to help people and see them happy.

I am a bookkeeper phasing into retirement. I enjoy working with spreadsheets and numbers when I’m not busy with family, human and canine. SCCC has been my church home for 20+ years. My faith and trust in God carries me through the good and bad that life brings each of us. My motto is “God’s got this.” He always does and He always will.

Eric is a trial lawyer with the law firm of Silverman Thompson Slutkin & White, LLC, most likely to be found in a courtroom in Maryland, DC, Virginia, or West Virginia.

Eric is always eager to talk about D.C. sports or share stories about his children.

I’ve been rescuing businesses from dysfunctional websites for over a decade through my company, Village Green Consulting. A native of Wisconsin, I grew my career for over a decade in New York before moving to Maryland in 2016 with my husband and twin daughters. Our family is proud to call SCCC home since 2017 and enjoys serving our community and exploring our region’s many museums, trails, and cultural events. Ask me about being a Girl Scout Troop Leader!

For nearly a decade now, I’ve been called to serve as a conflict management and dispute resolution leader with the federal government. My life is dedicated to building those skills in others (and myself!) and it has been such a privilege to watch God play this out in real lives.  If you know me, you also know that some of my most powerful lessons in collaborative problem solving come from working with my horses and dogs!
