Hi! I’m Mike Van Arsdale, Senior Pastor here at Burry’s Church. My wife, Linda, and I are relatively new to Burry’s. We moved here in October of 2004. We’ve been married for 37 years and have four children and five grandchildren. It is a real joy for us to serve this “grace-driven family of God.” The loving people of our congregation have truly made us feel welcomed and at home. I hope you can visit us sometime and see for yourself what a blessing it is to be part of Burry’s Church.

My name is Tom Smith. My wife, Ana and I have three fantastic daughters, Evelyn, Katherine, and Kristina. At age 17, I was touched by the gospel of grace, trusting Christ alone. I desire to see others affected by God’s transforming grace. I thank God for the opportunity to be used by Him at Burry’s in every area; whether it be visitation, missions, evangelism, or small groups. One of my favorite Bible passages is Philippians 3:8-10 upon which my favorite praise song, “Knowing You, Jesus” is based. |

Hello, I’m Chuck Horstman, and I’ve been serving as Youth Director at Burry’s Church since May 2001. Western PA has been my home since birth, and I love it here! I’m an avid outdoorsman, so the thought of moving out West or to Alaska someday has crossed my mind on numerous occasions, though at this time, I can’t imagine doing anything better than serving at Burry’s. Burry’s Church has become my home, and the members have become like family to me. It’s truly a blessing to watch the Lord at work in this congregation, and to see the youth grow and mature in their faith! |
