Our Session
Currently, our elders overseeing Park Church are the session members of Living Hope (OPC) in Allentown, plus the addition of Dave Holmlund.

In the Fall of 2023, we ordained and installed our new Pastor, Christian Repp to serve the congregation of Park Church.
We invite you to come meet him and his family, along with our body of believers.
In the meantime, Pastor Dave Holmlund, the Regional Home Missionary of the Presbytery of Philadelphia (OPC), leads services and offers other forms of assistance in becoming a church plant.
Having committed ourselves to the path of becoming a Presbyterian church, we believe God’s word requires us to be led by a plurality of mature Christian men (Titus 1:5) whom God has set apart to office as elders or ministers (the latter being elders called to teach and preach). Presbyterian church plants generally borrow such leadership from elders in other congregations in the region until the congregation is ready to organize with its own elders. Pray with us that God will supply both the borrowed elders we need for the next few years and the wise and godly servant leaders for the time of organization when we get to that milestone.
In addition to elders (1 Timothy 3:1-7), the Bible teaches about the service of deacons (1 Timothy 3:8-13) to lead churches in various forms of mercy and service. Again, we will have to lean upon borrowed deacons for a time until God raises up such gifted men for Park Church.
