Meet Our Staff

He and his wife are active in small group ministry and Brian enjoys preaching/teaching, as well as vision casting and ministries of mercy (hospital and home visitation of the sick, counseling, etc.). Brian and Judy have three children, Matthew (22), Rachel (19) and Mary Cate (18).
Director of Music, Mark Hahn
 A native of central New Jersey, Mark first felt a call to ministry while in High School. It was through various influences and the guidance of Donna Rose, choir director of his home church, and Dr. Samuel Hsu, that Mark's call to full time music ministry was confirmed. He attended Philadelphia Biblical University (formerly Philadelphia College of Bible) and graduated with a B.S. in Bible and a B.Mu. in piano performance. Since graduating in 1986, Mark has held positions at churches in the greater Philadelphia area and has been in full time ministry here at MEFC since 1992.
He enjoys participating in the musical culture of the surrounding communities as accompanist and soloist as well as administrating and directing the many choirs and ensembles of the church community.
Mark, his wife Cinderly, and their two children, KateLynne and Jacob, currently reside in Ewing, NJ.
In addition to his love of music, Mark also enjoys the outdoors, his dog Luke, and is an avid stamp collector and sci-fi/historical fantasy buff.
 Born and raised in a Christian home, Eric came to Christ at an early age. He felt a call to ministry in his early twenties after a time of falling away from Christ. He enrolled in Word of Life Bible Institute and continued his education at Liberty University to earn a bachelor’s degree in Youth ministry.
Eric married his wife, Amy, after graduating from Liberty in 1997. They have two daughters, Mikayla, who is nine and Olivia, who is seven. He served as Youth Pastor at the Findlay Evangelical Free Church in Findlay, Ohio for almost eight years, leaving there to move east to be closer to family. He spent the last year serving in New Hartford, NY as an Associate Pastor of Youth and Children.
Eric’s passion for youth is CLEAR. His goal is to Connect with students inside and outside of church and Love them to Christ, to Equip them to reach their friends for Christ and to Answer life’s challenges with Biblical principles and to ultimately Raise up students to do Christ’s work.
Eric enjoys being outdoors. He loves to hunt, fish, camp and play sports. He is a die hard Giants and Syracuse fan. While he can only play to radio and ipod, he loves all kinds of music.
