PASTORS

Mark, originally from Staten Island, NY, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary, from which he holds a PhD in Hermeneutics and Biblical Interpretation. He oversees several ministries related to the life of our church, including Christian education, gathered worship, and international missions. He also preaches and leads worship on occasion. Mark loves reading, hiking, music, and word-smithery.

Tom, born and raised in Philadelphia, has always called the city “home.” He received an Information Technology & Sciences degree from Penn State University and now serves as the director of web at The Gospel Coalition. He and his wife, Blessy, also a Philly native, have been a part of Citylight since 2012. They live in the Huntingdon Valley area with their kids, Esher and Karis. Outside of his 9 to 5, Tom enjoys graphic design, home improvement projects, and quality time with family and friends.

Gordon is Philadelphian through and through.  Born and raised in the city, he received his Music and Education degrees from the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts and uses neither of those degrees in his current career in office furniture sales. He and his wife Karen married in 1984, have three children and now call the Phoenixville suburb of Philadelphia home.  The Pfeils joined Citylight shortly after it launched and have been investing in us ever since. When Gordon isn’t passing on sage wisdom to our young church, he enjoys playing music and spending time with his family. Gordon serves Citylight as a lay pastor, praying for us and helping lead us toward healthy discipleship.
