Moving back to Pennsylvania in November 2015 from Virginia, Russell  has always viewed HOTRFC as his home church. Russell and his family started attending back in 2000, and he was a part of the youth group which he now leads. He also was the Assistant Youth Director to Rev. Eric Schwartz for a brief time before heading out to El Paso, Texas to learn from Pastor Charles Nieman’s Faith Master’s Commission Bible program. Russell has over ten years of experience working with youth in environments ranging from churches to juvenile corrections and mental health facilities. Married in 2014, and together since 2005, Russell and his beautiful wife Rachael are excited to see what God has in store for them and the youth of HOTRFC.
