Pastor Aaron has been in full time ministry for nearly two decades. During that time he has served in virtually every ministry area in the local church from youth ministry, to groups & discipleship, to worship ministry and now as Lead Pastor. All of these experiences have given him both an understanding and a deep appreciation for the joys and demands of local church ministry. He earned his first degree at Appalachian Bible College in Biblical Studies and later studied Religion & Philosophy at Liberty University. His philosophy of ministry centers around a devotion to prayer and preaching the Word. His passion is to encourage, equip & empower individuals to use their gifts and talents to connect others to the love of Jesus. He loves serving the Lord in Delaware County with his wife, Martha, and four children: Elisha, Arya, Emma & Adley. He also enjoys the simple things in life like fishing, hiking, reading, puzzles and of course Legos!

Amy's walk with the Lord began in 2002 when she was Baptized at Delaware Valley Christian Church by Pastor Brian. It was the beginning of an amazing journey. She met her husband Dean in 1993 and they were married 1997. They have been blessed with 2 wonderful boys, Nolan and Nicholas. They love spending time as a family outdoors, sports, movies and at the beach! They became part of The Bridge many years ago. An amazing God-loving woman that many of you know well, Patricia Savage, took amazing care of both of their boys in the daycare. She faithfully invited them to attend service and they finally accepted her offer. They are forever grateful for her serving heart and love to their family and most importantly for being a warrior for Jesus and reaching out to us. They have been members of the church through many changes since 2008 and Amy now feels incredibly blessed to be part of the team here at The Bridge!

As a pastor, Josh is focused on discipleship, outreach, and worship. He loves to talk about the Bible, theology, and everyday life. Josh's pastoral ministry is about helping others live their day-to-day lives in Christ, experiencing every new moment as a gift from God, and sharing His Light, Life, and Truth in all we do.

Martha Harding
Director of Children's Ministries

Martha is the mom to 4 amazing children and loves being able to help connect children in Bridge Kids to the love of Christ. Her journey into church ministry began right after she and Aaron got married in May, 2004. She served in many capacities from nursery to youth ministries. Most of her jobs outside of church have involved some sort of child care, from nannying for 5 years, to working as a Lead teacher at Discovery zone Learning Center, to Elementary and Middle school fundraising. It's safe to say that children and their care has always been something of importance to her and something she enjoys. She loves being able to help children connect the dots and see how God desires relationship with them, even now as young children.
