Rev. Dr. Greg Hall
The Session voted on November 14 to call Rev. Greg as Penningtonville Presbtyerian Church’s Interim Pastor. Greg will be a consistent pastoral presence and help lead the congregation in the next phase of their journey. He and the church will work together to discern where the Holy Spirit is guiding this congregation into the future. His hope is that their time together will lead to a deepening experience of God’s grace and being prepared to welcome a new permanent pastor.
Greg’s wife, Kathleen, and Greg are honored to become part of the Penningtonville community of faith. They both retired in the summer of 2023. Kathleen was a social worker for 44 years and Greg was in full time ministry for 43 years. In October of 2023 they moved into a 55+ community in Jennersville in order to be near their daughter’s family. They have enjoyed helping with their ten-year-old granddaughter and six-year-old grandson.
Stephanie Amos, Administrative Assistant
From a young age, my journey with Jesus began as I accepted Him into my heart and joined my family in worship at church. However, it wasn’t until my junior high years that my relationship with Him truly blossomed. During my high school education in a Christian environment, this bond deepened significantly, becoming as natural to me as breathing.

The Session
The Session at Penningtonville is comprised of 6 people called Elders. They are the governing body of the church and are responsible for making sure the mission and ministry is carried out faithfully.
As it seeks to lead and guide the congregation, the session is to keep before it the Marks of the Church, the Notes of the Reformed Church, and the Great Ends of the Church. The session’s main responsibilities and powers fall within three broad categories tied to the Notes of the Church:
- Providing the word of God may be truly preached and heard;
- Providing the Sacraments be rightly administered and received;
- Nurturing the covenant community of Christ’s disciples.
The Deacons
The deacons are ordained members of the church who strive to be the hands and feet of Christ to the congregation and the local community.
The ministry of a deacon is a ministry of compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress.
The Trustees
The primary responsibilities of the trustees are the maintenance and upkeep of the church buildings and grounds. They are also in charge of managing any funds given specifically for the maintenance and upkeep of the church buildings and grounds. Sundays of Service are organized periodically by the Trustees to help accomplish the ordinary tasks of maintaining an old building. Snow removal, grass cutting, window cleaning, and pipe replacing are only a few of the things the trustees do to keep our church looking beautiful.
