NPC Staff Biographies


Rev. Gary A. Chorpenning
Pastor

I was born and raised among the hills and valleys of Wheeling, West Virginia. After high school, I moved sixty miles up the road to attend the University of Pittsburgh, where I caused my parents to worry about by future employability by choosing to major in philosophy. I graduated from Pitt in 1978 and moved on to New England where I enrolled at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. In 1982 I graduated with a Master of Divinity degree.

My first pastorate was at Point Breeze Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh. I served there for seven years before moving to Ohio to become the pastor at Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Columbus. After thirteen years of service there, I accepted the call to become the pastor here at North Church beginning my service in January 2003.

My wife, Meg, is a social worker, working with families of children with life-threatening illnesses. We have three children, Faith (1992), David (1993), and Grace (1995).
