Deacons at Christ Presbyterian Church wear a few different hats. To begin with, they coordinate all ministries directed to physical needs of members within the Christ Presbyterian family. When families have had new babies, the Deacons make sure that family is provided for with extra meals and babysitting assistance, along with other sorts of help. Physical care for shut-ins, financial assistance for members who have fallen on hard times all fall in their care. The church has a responsibility to help provide for her members when the time comes, and we rely heavily on the Deacons to do that.
The second area relates to the physical needs of the property. As our new building begins to age this job has grown greatly. Our deacons do a great job in recruiting the church’s “handymen” or hiring professionals to keep the facilities in clean, organized and working order.
The third area is oversight of our financial resources, which ensures our other ministries are able to bear fruit. The deacons are responsible for keeping records related to “giving”, developing our budget, monitoring and reporting on our finances and oversight of our accounting and payroll activities.
In short, the deacons keep the wheels of ministry turning.
Tim Mather
Tim and his wife, Andrea, have been faithful members of Christ Presbyterian Church (PCA) since 2004. Tim currently serves as the church treasurer, where he uses his professional background in accounting to steward the church’s finances.
In his role, Tim oversees the recording and reporting of all giving, drafts the annual budget, and produces regular financial reports for the church leadership and congregation. He is also responsible for managing day-to-day financial operations, including processing payroll, paying bills, and maintaining accurate records of all of the church's finances.
Tim is grateful for the opportunity to serve the church through his gifts and vocation, supporting the ministry of CPC.
Adam Plach
Adam has been a lifelong member of Christ Presbyterian Church (PCA), having attended since its founding days. He and his wife and children are actively involved in the life of the church and are grateful to be part of a Christ-centered community.
He serves in various ministries at CPC, including Sunday school, the Christian Education Committee, and Voyagers, the church’s youth ministry. He considers it a joy and a privilege to support the spiritual growth of the congregation across all ages.
Sam Insalaco
Sam has been a Christian all his life, but it was through working through personal challenges that he came to truly experience the depth of Christ’s love and forgiveness. He firmly believes that no matter how far someone feels from God, Christ will forgive—even when it seems impossible.
Sam began attending Christ Presbyterian Church about four years ago, after being recommended by Elder, Bryan Hoon, from a sister church. He now serves faithfully as a deacon, providing both spiritual and practical support to the congregation. His role includes assisting church members in need and performing minor repairs in plumbing, electrical work, woodworking, and drywall—both at the church and in members’ homes.
Outside of his church responsibilities, Sam enjoys walking, visiting and helping family, traveling, and pursuing lifelong learning. Though dedicated to serving others, he finds being the center of attention challenging and prefers to work behind the scenes where he feels most at ease.
