Staff and Leadership

Mark Moser

Mark is the Pastor of New Life Presbyterian Church.

Mark Moser

Pastor

Mark plans and executes the preaching of the Word on Sunday mornings. He works with the Director of Shepherding in his care for the congregation. He also oversees the Adult Education and Discipleship programs, and lends oversight to Community Groups.

Mark and his wife Lise have known each other since elementary school, growing up in the small town of Kidron, Ohio. They started dating just before Mark graduated from high school in 1992 and left to study Electrical Engineering at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.  Lise followed Mark to OU two years later, and later they married and moved to Manassas, Virginia, where Mark worked as an engineer. Soon he transitioned into teaching computer programming in the IT sector, which he did for over 16 years, while also pursuing theological studies. Mark holds the Master of Divinity degree from Westminster Theological Seminary (‘07), and is a dissertation away from completing his PhD in Historical and Theological Studies at Westminster.

Mark spent twenty years volunteering in various churches and ministries, as well as over ten years in part-time studies at seminary, all in preparation for full-time ministry someday. That day finally came in January of 2015 when he came on staff at New Life, where he and his family had attended for over twelve years. After a year as an Assistant Pastor, Mark became the Pastor of New Life Glenside on June 5, 2016.

Mark and Lise live in Glenside with their four children, Susanna, Boaz, Mary, and Ezra.

Jason Peterson

Director of Youth Ministries

Jason is the Director of Youth Ministries, where he has the amazing privilege of walking along side students as together we seek to know Christ and to love others.

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, he graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in exercise and sport science. At age 15, he started working for Utah’s Hogle Zoo selling cotton candy. Over the years, he worked his way up, finishing his career 20 years later as the Director of Development.

In 2007, he came to Glenside to attend Westminster Theological Seminary, where he received his masters of divinity in 2012. It was during seminary that he first began volunteering with the youth in junior high. It didn’t take him long to figure out that the Lord was calling him to shepherding and caring for young people. He’s been happily fulfilling that calling at New Life since September 2009.

Elders

Elders must watch diligently over the flock committed to their charge, that no corruption of doctrine or of morals enter therein. They must exercise government and discipline, and take oversight not only of the spiritual interests of the…church. All those duties which private Christians are bound to discharge by the law of love are especially incumbent upon them by divine vocation, and are to be discharged as official duties. They should pray with and for the people, being careful and diligent in seeking the fruit of the preached Word among the flock (PCA Book of Church Order, paragraph 8-3).

Deacons & Deaconesses

Deacons minister to those in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress. It is their duty also to develop the grace of liberality in the members of the church, to devise effective methods of collecting the gifts of the people, and to distribute these gifts among the objects to which they are contributed. (PCA Book of Church Order, paragraph 9-2.)
