Christopher Tweel - Associate Pastor for Christian Education
Christopher came from a deeply religious background beginning with a great-great uncle who was an orthodox priest, his uncle who was a Episcopal priest, and his mother who was a minister of music for many years. Christopher and his wife Leah came to school at Union Presbyterian Seminary by way of North Carolina, where they spent five years in Greensboro and two in Mooresville at Presbyterian churches there. Their very first church was First Presbyterian in Charleston, West Virginia, where Christopher got his official start in youth and recreation ministry.
Christopher and Leah met in college at West Virginia Wesleyan where Christopher studied Sociology and History and Leah studied Art and English. They married in April 2003 and spent the following years in travel and service together, and supporting one another through Leah's Masters in Library Science. While in Mooresville, NC they were blessed by the birth of their daughter Amara, in the early summer evening of May 20, 2011.
We hope you will share in our joy at answering God's call to ministry at Grace Covenant. We are energized to see how God will continue to grow our church in spirit, health and action in our time together! Email Me
