Lead Pastor Rev. Paul Barna | I have been the Lead Pastor since 2003. Prior to this, I worked in the semiconductor industry for 12 years in Allentown, PA until I sensed God’s call to full-time ministry. My wife and I uprooted our family to Waterford, NY and have watched God do amazing things in our lives, as well as our children and community. I also serve as the Northside Fire Co. and Waterford Fire Co. Chaplain and serve on the Northside Fire Co. as a Fire Commissioner. I am committed to seeing lives, families, our community, and surrounding areas transformed by the power of Christ.
Assistant Pastor Rev. Matthew Wyman | I am the Assistant Pastor here at Waterford Wesleyan Church. Originally from Glens Falls I call the 518 home and have been here in Waterford since June of 2018. I love to teach and help people grow in their understanding of the Bible and their faith. I organize our Growth Group ministries as well as our Greeting Team, and Tech Team.
Children’s Director Pam Barna | I have been the Children’s Director for ages 0- 5th grade since 2003. I am passionate about teaching children about Jesus with high-energy lessons, worship, and activities. I’m a mom of five and understand what it takes to raise Christ-centered children in our world today. It is my honor to serve the Lord and the children and families of our community.
Childrens’ Co-Director Abby Barna | I’ve been a part of Waterford Wesleyan Church all my life, but working with kids is my passion. I love working with Cait co-directing our awesome team!
Children’s Co-Director Cait Briell | I have been a part of Waterford Wesleyan Church since 2005. I have a heart for kids ministry and love the opportunity to co-direct this amazing team!
Worship Director Tracy Morse | God put a passion for singing in my heart at the ripe age of three. Born and raised in the Capital Region, I continued my musical journey in many facets throughout elementary and high school, continuing vocal lessons after graduating. When I came to know Christ in my early twenties, it’s no surprise that I have been serving on worship teams ever since. I came to Waterford Wesleyan Church around 2016 and have loved growing in this church community of incredible people. I’ve lead Women’s Ministry at this church and have recently begun the journey as a ministerial student. My goal is to lead the congregation closer to Christ by glorifying Him through music revealing His love, hope, and peace.
