Church Secretary
Prior to entering answering his call to Ministry, Sean had over 20 years' experience in the photofinishing industry. When the industry turned from cameras and chemicals to pixels and cell phones, it brought him to reevaluate and ask the age old question, 'what do I do with this degree in English.' For a person who loves the study of words, the answer is plain study The Word. From ODU to VCU and eventually to Lexington Theological; Sean has put this study to use in serving his community across Central Virginia. Whether it is his presence in the King and Queen Resource Council, sitting as the Co-chair with the Friends of King and Queen Library, as secretary for the Goochland Council of Churches, or standing in the pulpit of several area churches; For Sean, and for Salem, there is no shortage of commitment in the pursuit to share God's love across this good creation.
