The Lord, my wife and family, and riding motocross!

After attending Liberty University and Biblical Theological Seminary, I came to Living Hope in 1999 as the first pastor of a young church plant. Previously I was serving as a Youth Pastor in West Chester and still have a heart for reaching the next generation of disciples and leaders for Christ. It is exciting to see how Living Hope has grown over the years and to be a part of all God is doing in our community and world. When I’m not at the church, I like to surf, hunt, drink good coffee, ride motocross, and ride my Harley with my wonderful wife Diana. We live right here in the community of Dublin, which we love! We have two beautiful daughters, two awesome son-in-laws, and three incredible grandkids, Braxton, Willow, and Ilse.

The Lord, time with my family, the beach, coffee, and crafts.

I started attending Living Hope in 2017 and I'm so excited and blessed to be able to join the staff! I'm a born and raised Doylestown-ian and am looking forward to seeing the Lord's plans for His community here. In my free time I like to explore new playgrounds with my kids, paint, sew, and cook.

JAMES WHEELER

The Lord, my wife, drawing/painting, the outdoors, Philly sports, board games, and talking life around the campfire.

Before my wife Betty and I moved from the Scranton area to Bucks County in 2023, I attended Clarks Summit University where I received a Bachelor's degree in Specialized Ministry. I have a deep passion for camp and youth ministry which is only rivaled by my deep passion for Philly sports - especially the Eagles and Phillies! When I'm not rooting for my teams, I can usually be found painting along to Bob Ross videos, watching movies with my family, or playing board games with my wife. I'm a self proclaimed introvert but get me talking about theology, history, or just anything about life and I will talk your ear off!

The Lord, my family, football and working out. I love spending time with family and watching the boys play football, run track, and play baseball.

I’m a husband to my wife Jennifer and a father to my 2 sons Justus and Jacob. When God has a plan for your life, He never fails. I’ve always worked in some capacity with the youth. From my younger years as a mental health worker, to a trainer. After getting married and having children, I graduated with a Bachelors in History and worked with and taught High School students for 13 years, after seeing the need for more mental health workers in the community who are saved, I went back to college and recently graduated with a Masters in Counseling with a concentration in child family and trauma, I also have coached youth football for the past 5 years.

I joined Living Hope March, 2022. I thoroughly enjoy and feel blessed to work with youth and look forward to all God is doing in the ministry.

JAMIE WALCK

My husband and two kids and helping others. I also love going out to eat, sour candy and reading.

Throughout my life, I have always felt called by the Lord towards helping others. This desire started as early as skipping recess to help in a classroom in elementary school all the way to attending Messiah College and graduating with a degree in Human Development and Family Science. Since then I have worked in many capacities over the last 12 years, but always supporting family and children towards their goals. I feel blessed to be able to combine my faith and passion for helping families and children in my role as the Children’s Ministry Coordinator!

FRANK SHEAFFER

My wife, my kids, my grandkids, and Living Hope for rescuing us at First Baptist Doylestown.

I guess you could call me a slow learner - it took me over twenty-two years of observing my wife Carol live her faith out in front of me every day before I understood that she had something that I needed. Then it took Carol and I about two months to figure out that Living Hope had something that we needed. What a blessing it is that the Lord has given me the opportunity to be a part of a team of faithful believers with servants' hearts! We could not have imagined this a year ago. I can't wait for the transition to be completed so that we can again shine the light of Jesus' love out into the heart of our beloved Doylestown.

GEE HENDRICKS

Worshiping the Lord, spending time with my husband, my family, and the many wonderful friends God has given me.

My husband, Rick, and I came to Living Hope in January 2014. We have been so very blessed to be part of the body here and now I am very privileged to be part of the staff! With a background in education administration, I enjoy coordinating the Welcome Center both during the week and on Sundays. I love greeting and assisting our guests new and not so new. When not at the church building, I can be found cooking – I’m kind of a “foodie”, or quilting – I enjoy working with color and patterns. Rick and I live in our empty nest in Perkasie.

Going on adventures with my daughter.

I am a very private guy and find that family time is what is most important, especially nowadays. I enjoy reading/writing books and going on adventures with my amazing daughter. I am a quick and eager learner and try to help loved ones whenever I am able. A fun fact about me is that I have written four books but have only published one.

KARISSA MURMYLO

Quiet time with God in creation or coffee shops, my family, all things artsy, travel, and outdoor adventures.

I began attending Living Hope in 2018 and made the decision to begin regular attendance by Easter in 2019! After that, I started volunteering for our elementary students and with Jr. High Hope Students. In January of 2022, God graciously provided the position of Welcome Center Admin. It is such a blessing to work with an amazing team and to connect with the individuals at Living Hope on Sundays and throughout the week. Aside from work, I enjoy art, music, spending time in creation, travel, and all kinds of recreational adventures!

My family, serving my community, all things Christmas, and caprese salad!

From setting up my model classroom in my childhood basement through studying education at Eastern University, God has been orienting my heart towards children's ministry for my entire life. I've been privileged to see God use my gifts and talents in multiple places; in education (as a 5th grade teacher), in real estate (as the "teaching realtor"!), and now at Living Hope. I am excited to welcome kids to meet Jesus!

CATHY MUSCARA

My family, the beach and books (books on the beach with my family is the ultimate).

God has taken my love for all things Jesus and all things children and combined them in to the most wonderful serve opportunity as Children's Ministry Director at Living Hope! I started volunteering in our Preschool room in 2015 and accepted the Children's Ministry position in 2016. It is an exciting honor to support our families as they disciple their children in following Jesus! Sunday dinner is the highlight of my week, enjoying homegrown goodies, fun with our farm animals, and best of all, time with my husband, children and grandchildren! Would you like to see pictures of my grandchildren?!

JOSH HABERLE

Cars, snowboarding, and anything that goes boom.

I first came to Living Hope when I was 13 years old in the gym of Plumstead Christian. God brought me back here after college to serve in student ministry. After 4 years of serving, I am blessed to serve God in this new way. I can usually be found working on my car, enjoying the woods in the summer, snowboarding in the winter, and playing with my dogs with my beautiful wife Kaitlyn. My passion is bringing teenagers to Christ through the most ridiculous games, unforgettable experiences, and real relationships.

BEN OSBORN

My family, all things music, anything spicy, and the outdoors.

I grew up in a very musically talented family and my father was the worship leader in our church growing up. Because of that, I have been involved in music for as long as I can remember. One of my passions is to lead people into authentic worship to the Lord through music. My wife Alicia and I both grew up in Delaware and got married in 2013. We relocated to Pennsylvania in 2015 and currently live in Telford with our 3 beautiful children, Colton, Briella, and Levi.

DAVID KIRKNER

In addition to God, my wife, and my family, I love preparation for and teaching the Bible, blessing people by helping or encouraging them, conversing with a friend while drinking coffee, and listening to the Phillies on my transistor radio.

I was the 2nd of 3 boys and was blessed to grow up in Bucks County, in a home with parents who sincerely loved God, their boys and each other. Feeling as though I could never measure up, I rarely did. I was the 1 of 8 who was not chosen to move into the accelerated program in grade school, I graduated college with a C- average, had 3 knee surgeries, been fired 4 times, and have experienced a number of shattered dreams. But through it all God has always been sovereign, all-wise, loving, merciful, and kind. He has always had my “back” and my heart. Despite what seems like a lot of failure God has used me to teach and preach His Word, care about and for people, and enrich His Kingdom exponentially over 20+ years in professional ministry, the Academy and the marketplace. I am thrilled to be a part of this loving church and work with this incredible team. My wife Linda and I live in Chalfont and are the proud parents of two amazing adult children, Katie and Jon. Katie and her husband David are the parents of our grandson Joel.

COLE SIMCOX

My wife, our two sons, and everything outdoors.

I officially joined the staff team in 2012, as the Worship Ministries Director, but have been on Team Living Hope since its inception in 1997. I was privileged to be a part of those few families that pioneered a new church and started meeting in a barn in Bedminster, PA. Moving to my current role in 2021, I have a passion for creating safe, distraction free environments where the Truths of scripture can be heard. I get to manage an amazing staff of godly individuals who have a passion for the Lord and a pursuit of excellence. When I’m not creating memories with my wife and two boys I love to hunt, fish, and ski in the Rocky mountains.

NICK CAMPAGNA

My wife, my daughters, and Italian wedding soup.

I joined the Living Hope Team in 2007 and consider it an honor to serve this community with love and joy. One of the best parts of my job is that I get to share, connect, minister, and disciple others to Christ. To ‘present everyone mature in Christ’ is my passion and goal. One of my other favorite things to do at Living Hope is play on the softball team! I’m a loyal fan of all Philly sports teams and I live in Perkasie with my wildly wonderful family.

Jesus, my husband, camping, & sunflowers.

I first came to Living Hope in 2011 and later became involved with the children’s ministry team as a volunteer in preschool. I'm a graduate of Cairn University and was a member of the women’s soccer team. Outside of being in ministry, I volunteer for 4-H, enjoy road trips and being an auntie! I love being on staff here at Living Hope and I'm excited to see how the Lord will use us to further His Kingdom!
