We are honored to welcome Rev. Dr. Andrew Pomerville to preach and co-lead our worship service this Sunday, January 11th, Dr. Pomerville was appointed the 11th President of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary on July 1, 2023. He is also a professor of practical theology. Prior to his arrival in Louisville, Dr. Pomerville was the founding director for the Center for College and Community Engagement at Alma College (MI). In addition, he was the Senior Chaplain and Assistant VP for Community Engagement at Alma College. He has a D.Min in Reformed Theology from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary/University of Aberdeen (UK), an M.Div from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a BA from Alma College. 

 President Pomerville is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), having served as senior pastor at The Peoples Church of East Lansing and Church in the Hills, Bellaire, MI. He has extensive chaplaincy experience, working as a chaplain for the East Lansing Police Department, Hospice of NW Michigan, Trenton (NJ) Psychiatric Hospital, and Denali National Park (AK). He and his wife, Rachell, a teacher in Oldham County, have two children - Denali, a second year student at University of St Andrews in Scotland, and Bryce, a soon to be first year student at Ithaca College (NY). He and his family love the outdoors, especially fishing, duck-hunting, hiking, traveling to new places, and playing with their dogs. 

 He is delighted to return to FPC Greenville - in one of his favorite parts of the country - and he is even happier to be accompanied on this visit by his daughter, Denali, who is home from Scotland on break between semesters.
