Meet Our Leadership

Pastor

The Reverend, Tim Ness

Pastor Tim has been serving St. Mark since August 2013.  He earned an M.Div from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (now United Lutheran Seminary) in the spring of 2013.  Pastor Tim has a passion for preaching and teaching, and witnessing the many ways God's grace unfold in people's lives.  He is married to the Rev. Laura Tancredi who serves as Pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Ardmore, PA.  Pastor Tim grew up in  northwestern Conneticuit, as a fan of both the Red Sox and New England Patriots. The (mostly) friendly rivalry between Pastor Tim and the Philly fans has been fun for everyone!

Faith Woodward

Faith has been our musician for over 10 years.  She began her time at St. Mark as "Interim Music Director" and many years later she is blessedly still with us!

Alice has been working as out parish administrator since February of 2018.  Having a variety of past work experiences in and out of offices, Alice brings a wealth of knowledge and organization to St. Mark.  Alice also serves as the parish administrator for Christ Community Lutheran Church in Upper Darby, PA.
