bible study PA chelsea headshot Dr. Tim Boal Teaching Pastor

Sometimes, I can hardly believe that I've been serving local congregations for over 40 years as a spiritual leader. There's nothing quite like the privilege of sharing the message of faith and guiding believers in their spiritual growth in Christ. Grace Church has been a wonderful experience and a terrific group of people to pastor!

My wife Tammy and I have been married for over 40 years, and we are currently relishing the joy of spending time with our eight grandchildren during this season of our lives. We love residing in Lititz and when possible we enjoy riding our bikes in the beautiful Lancaster County countryside.

My faith in Jesus is central to my life, and I am deeply grateful for His love and presence. It is so wonderful to know that Jesus loves me! I'd love for you to know that He loves you too!

I love Jesus, and people, and combining them together! Meeting new people, hearing their stories, and connecting them to others are some of my favorite things. When I'm not socializing, I can normally be found walking with a podcast or curled up with a good book. My goal for the year is to keep my five plants alive!

My husband, Mitch, and I live in Lititz with our four crazy kids. When I'm not running, I'm busy biking, playing games, running to soccer games, and spending time with friends and family. I want everyone I know to know that they are fully known and fully loved - by Jesus and by me. Watching kids put their faith in Jesus brings me an indescribable joy as the Kids Director at Grace Church!

dan headshot dan headshot Dan Boal Lead Pastor

I am a disciple maker, and I make disciples into disciplemaker. As a servant of Jesus, husband, father, and Pastor I’m called to build people into wholehearted, faith-filled, bold disciples serving Jesus in their own unique way.  I write, speak, train, life coach, and counsel. Additionally, I grow a beard faster than most people I know, but my first love is spending time with my wife and 5 children in the mundane routines of life, and a few crazy faith-filled adventures.

I love Jesus with all my heart. I have an amazing wife, named Diana and three awesome kids. I love traveling and experiencing other cultures. I also love fantasy fiction novels, warm fires when it’s cold outside, good movies, and great coffee. I enjoy influencing culture for the sake of God's Kingdom and pouring into leaders to help them become all that He's called them to be.

I live in Lititz with my husband, Brian, and our two sons Tanner and Connor. On a Saturday morning, you can find us walking downtown to grab breakfast followed by a playdate at Lititz Springs Park. We love our town! I have a background in early childhood and elementary education. I’m excited to combine my love teaching with my love of Jesus as I assist with Grace Kids ministry. One of my favorite things is when we unite our church families with our community through programs such as Vacation Bible School!

I have been coming to Grace Church for over 15 years, and I can say this church is where I truly accepted Jesus fully and got baptized here as well! It is a true blessing that I get to call Grace Church my home church and now employer! I live in Lititz with my husband and two children, and you might catch us downtown at Dosie Dough on any given day. I enjoy working outside in my flower beds in the summer and laying on the beach on our family vacations. I have a passion for spreading the good news of Jesus our Savior, and I am excited to be working alongside people who also have the same passion for Jesus!

Working with young children, parents and the teen assistants at Grace is a blessing. In my 49 years as a Registered Nurse, 45 years have been in Maternal-Child Health and Pediatrics.  I love little kids, especially babies, and became known as the “Baby Whisperer”.  Married 49 years to my high school sweetheart, we have one son and two grandsons.  Being “sort of retired”, it is my desire to serve and shine for Jesus wherever I can.

My wife and I moved to Lititz and have been part of the Grace Church community since September 2022. I recently retired from a 25-year career as a Criminal Investigator for the federal government within the Inspector General community.   My wife Amy and I have been married for 27 years and we have two adult children.  You can normally find us either walking Winston, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel through downtown Lititz or driving around Lancaster County in our classic Mini Cooper.  I have a passion for the mission of the local church and it’s a blessing to be able to serve here at Grace Church!

tasha headshot Tasha Cordero Executive Assistant / Communication Coordinator

I am passionate about Jesus and the love He has for His people. I am honored to be a part of the staff team, and I am excited to use my gifts and grow them by serving the families here at Grace Church. My prayer is for everyone to experience the love of God and see themselves through His eyes. I am blessed with an amazing family: my husband, Eddy, and two high schoolers, Eddy Jr and Rebecca, who keep me busy and young! When I’m not serving at church, you can find me running the kids around to school events and activities and playing an active role in their school. When the busyness settles, and I can get away for a second, you’ll find me curled up on the couch with a book or out yard sale hunting.

I was born in Haiti and in 2017 I met my wife Emma where we bonded over our love for ministry and the Haitian culture. We have 2 kids together and plan to live in Haiti full time in the future. I am passionate about evangelism and view everything I do behind the scenes at Grace as a way to serve my Lord and Savior.

Hello, my name is Mike. I live in Annville with my wife, Rochelle, and I'm very excited about my role as facilities director here at Grace Church. I love using my giftings in maintenance and facilities to further God's mission in Lititz, PA, and surrounding towns.

david headshot David Hoole Worship Pastor

My wife , Rachelle and I said, "I do," almost 30 years ago, and we've been living the dream ever since! With 3 grown children, our house is a little quieter these days, but our heart remains the same - passionately pursue the presence of Jesus. I love spending time with my family, making music, playing golf, drinking a good cup of coffee or eating tacos, and these past times are all better with friends. Adventures await those who follow Jesus, so here we go!!!

sarah headshot Sarah Shenk Interim Youth Director

I passionately love Jesus and want to grow champions for Christ. In this season I'm honored to serve Grace Church Lititz as their Interim Youth Director. Many of you have seen me in different roles over the last four years at Grace in the office and serving in different capacities including kids and youth ministry. Working with students is by far the best! I want each student to be loved, known and learn to grow a passionate relationship with Jesus as he leads and guides them in their future.

Outside of church I live an active life with my husband Colin and children Erin and Carter who I adore. Fun things we like to do as a family are nerf battles, building legos, playing at parks, riding bikes, going for walks and swimming. I personally enjoy coffee, working out, reading, time with friends, being outdoors, but most of all being in His presence and seeing Jesus in all the details.
