Pastor

Rev. Bernard N. Howard is a Jewish believer in Jesus. Originally from London, he began following Jesus as the promised Messiah two years after his bar mitzvah (he tells the story here). Bernard has worked in Christian ministry for many years, including three years with the Titus Trust, four years with the Association of Evangelists, and three years as an assistant pastor at Christ Church NYC. He has written numerous articles for The Gospel Coalition.

Bernard is married to Betsy, who is an editor for The Gospel Coalition and the author of Seasons of Waiting and Arlo and the Great Big Cover-Up. They have two young sons: Solomon and Abel.


Church Council

In recent years, much of our church governance has been carried out by our Church Council, made up of both elders (currently just our pastor, Bernard) and deacons. Several council members recently reached the end of their terms, leaving vacancies that need to be filled. We intend to fill those vacancies as soon as the most suitable candidates become clear.
