Here's a recent photo of Pastor John Wallace and family,
taken upon his oldest daughter's return from deployment in
San Diego. Pastor John is the guy in the middle holding an
uncooperative grandchild.
Pastor Wallace is a graduate of the Evangelical Theological
Seminary of Myerstown, PA. He has earned a Master of
Divinity and Master of Marriage and Family Therapy degrees.
He is married to Karen (the attractive silver-haired lady in the
photo) and they are parents to Stephanie (David), Rachel
(Salvatore), and Meggan (Brandon). You can see their 3 grand-
children, Isaac, Isabel, and James David, somewhere in the photo!
Have a problem? Lori can fix it. Yes, she's that good!
Lori is married to Joe Blyler and they reside in Hegins, PA.
They are parents of Joseph (Allison) and Andrew (Kelsey)
Blyler. Don't mess with the XO!
