  Rev. Rich Gelson
"Pastor Rich" arrived to serve the FPC church family and its mission in the August of 2004. He grew up in both Summit, NJ and Northeast Philadelphia, PA.
He earned a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1997 and is a certified Spiritual Director (www.oasismin.org).
He greatly enjoys the myriad of ministry -- especially preaching and leading worship, going on church mission trips to rehabilitate homes in Appalachia (www.asphome.org), promoting Camp Johnsonburg (www.campjburg.org), serving as a Trustee of the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Hunterdon County, participating "to the max" in Vacation Bible School and working both collegially and ecumenically. He advocates honest, non-judgmental conversation about God, faith, and following in the footsteps of Jesus. He thinks less about what Jesus WOULD do and more about what Jesus WILL do!
His hobbies include digital photography (http://www.flickr.com/photos/richgelson), singing and songwriting (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/richgelson), being phanatcial about the Philadelphia Phillies, watching movies and reading Dean Koontz and Dennis Lehane novels.
His favorite book of the BIble is Hebrews. The passage of Scripture that most inspires him is Mark 5:1-20.
Above all, he cherishes spending as much time as possible with daughters Anna (11) and Rebecca (9).
