Rev. Dr. Kori Phillips McMurtry

Pastor
 
Rev. Dr. Kori Philips McMurtry  
Pastor Kori is CCPC's head pastor. On Sundays, she leads with enthusiasm, creativity, scholarship, and a genuine love for God and the work we are called into as a community of faith. She feels that one of the best things about serving alongside CCPC is bearing witness to the way this church cares for each other, while also remaining warm and hospitable to new friends and visitors. She and her husband, Ben, are parents to a four year old, who will sometimes make an appearance in the pulpit! Her prayer is for all of God's beloved children to know just how loved they are. She looks forward to greeting you at CCPC!


Rick Osborne
Director of Music Ministry
 

Rick Osborne  
I began my music ministry in my early teens by playing piano in Sunday School at my Southern Baptist church. At seventeen, my first experience playing the organ for a worship service was during Youth Sunday. Suddenly, my Christian faith and love of music became wonderfully balanced and permanently intertwined. My college years took me to Baltimore and the Peabody Conservatory. I served in a Presbyterian Church in Baltimore County for three and a half years before taking a position at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore for nine years.

   My next position took me to the eastern shore where I served at the Presbyterian Church of Easton for almost 34 years. In 2017, I retired from 41 years of general music education. During my teaching career, I developed a tremendous passion for musical theater, and the impact it can have on children’s lives and their personal development.

   June, 2018 brought me to Christian Community Presbyterian Church (CCPC), where I immediately found a vibrant Christian community and a new family of friends. There is something wonderfully familiar and comfortable about this church home.

   My wife, Georgie and I continue to live in Easton where her family resides. We never tire of the smiles we receive when we are about town on our tandem bike. The two of us are avid flower gardeners and spend as much time as we can in our little piece of God’s paradise. Every summer we travel to the Shaw Theatre Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, where we binge on as many shows as we can pack into eight days.

Beth's introductory bio:
 
"Hi! I'm Beth and I'm excited to serve as your Coordinator of Children's and Youth Ministry. I have been blessed to grow up in the church and have always had a passion for sharing the message of God's grace. I'm proud to be bringing my experiences in administration and childcare to this position and can't wait to do great things together.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and three kids. We love spending time outdoors, playing games, and reading together. On my own, I love baking, crocheting, and learning new things.

I'm excited to see what God has in store for this new season as we nurture the kids of our community."
