  • MIKE HADDOX and JEN HADDOX

    Co-Lead Pastors

    Mike and Jen Haddox were called to serve as pastors First Presbyterian Church in the Fall of 2021.  They are a husband and wife team who share the lead pastor role.  Based on their unique and complementary gifting,  Mike takes the lead in family ministry, preaching, and pastoral care, and Jen takes the lead in directing the staff, session, and ministry teams.

    I joined the First Pres. staff during the Fall of 2010. I attended Messiah College and Waynesburg University before singing opera professionally and becoming a vocal coach, both of which I still do.  When I'm not making music, I enjoy reading and being with friends and family, and I love wildlife and nature.
