It was the summer between middle and high school in Yorktown, VA, when Cory, who was raised Catholic, was at a Baptist church camp with some friends, responded to the Gospel by deciding to accept the gift of God's grace and begin a new life of following Jesus. After participating in various church youth groups and Young Life in high school, Cory went to the University of Pittsburgh, where through his involvement with a primarily Presbyterian campus ministry, he believes God called him into youth ministry. After few years as a youth ministry intern, he went part-time, then full-time at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Sewickely, PA. After about five years there, God and family led him east and Cory has been with us here at UMCWC since 2006.
