About Us

Halifax Community Church is a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.

Halifax Community Church strives to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Halifax Community Church makes an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.

Halifax Community Church highly values our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

Brendan experienced a call to serve God in full-time Christian ministry as a late teen. In response to this call, and to begin preparing himself for this task and responsibility, he entered college and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Pastoral Ministry in 2006. He then entered Seminary and received a Master’s of Divinity Degree from Wesley Theological Seminary in 2012.

In his spare time, he enjoys reading, gardening, spending time with family, and biking. Dearest to his heart is his love for the local Church which he believes, when done right with Christ in the center, is still the hope for the world.

Brendan and his wife, Meagan, have two sons, Channing and Greyson. Both Brendan and Meagan were raised in Elizabethville, PA, and they are excited to be serving at Halifax Community Church.

Jesse is a 3rd generation pastor, after his father, Tim, and his paternal grandfather, Amos. He has served the church in various ways, most recently through his involvement in Adult and Youth Ministry at Chapel Church in York County, where he experienced his call to ministry.

He comes to HCC from a career as an Assessment Counselor in Behavioral Health. He has a particular passion for discipleship and seeing families and individuals grow with Christ as the foundation. He looks forward to encouraging the spiritual life development of parents and grandparents as they seek to guide the younger generation in the ways of Christ.

In his spare time, Jesse enjoys watching football and hockey, spending time with loved ones, and going to the driving range since he can't hit a 5-iron on an actual golf course if his life depended on it.
